Close to You Lyrics

Our Paris fell still in our hearts

I loved you only that time in the car

Your hands entwined in mine

Won't stop the time

You were a basket case

I was the king of the masquerade

Slowing down, keep from the edge

I always do

The first time you took me in

Midnight song touched your lamp lit skin

The rain never chased us away

In our valiant charade

Your mother was kind to me

I played her a song in a minor key

Tears hit her dress, but I was sure it was nothing to you

Love won't you come slow

Lavender creeping in through the window

Time, make up your mind

Stretch your hands cross the billowing sky

We drove down an hour too late

You started smoking a quarter to eight

You said if you were to die

It'd be on time

I called you a narcissist

You said without me you wouldn't exist

I'm holding your head, you talk of books

You never have read

Love won't you come slow

Lavender creeping in through the window

Time, make up your mind

Stretch your hands cross the billowing sky

I won't write the end of our song

I'll play it forever and on and on

The words may change but there's no changing you

We landed in Paris again

Our novel opens ready to begin

Streams of sky, you smile wide I'm close to you

I'm close to you

I'm close to you, so close to you

Love won't you come slow

Lavender creeping in through the window

Time, make up your mind

Stretch your hands cross the billowing sky
