Over the years I've tried to be a better man
Over the tears that I've lied and I've cried
Over the hill they say lies the better land and I know we can survive
Come a little closer we can make it all work out tonight
Come a little closer make me see it will be alright
Come a little closer we can have it all tonight

[ guitar ]

People drift apart when they're feeling lonely
And lovers drift apart when they're running scared
Strangers in the night beckon to you only whisper my name and I'll be there
Oh won't you come a little closer

[ guitar ]

Come a little closer

Oh when your touch is cold and time lies between us it hurts so bad just barely alive
We cannot let our wonderings deceive us heaven knows we can survive
Come a little closer
Oh won't you come a little closer oh yeah come a little closer
Come a little closer come a little closer
