Sunny days and sweet romances,
Childhood dreams, forgotten chances pass you by
Time has gone, and far behind you
Music plays and lights that blind you fade and die
So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been

Feel as if it's now or never,
We can make it last for ever,
Don't ask why
Closer to you, don't ever find my way,
Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay
Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day
Closer to you, I will live my life
Closer to you

In the evening, dancing shadows
Gather, caring, where the wind blows, fancy free
In our world of empty spaces
Strangers in familiar places, you and me
So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been

There's no need to wonder whether
Happiness we'll share together
Can't it be
Closer to you, I don't ever find my way,
Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay
Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day
Closer to you, I will live my life
Closer to you

So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been

There's no need to wonder whether
Happiness we'll share together
Can't it be
Closer to you, I don't ever find my way,
Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay
Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day
Closer to you, I will live my life
Closer to you
