CLOSE
(Burt Bacharach / Sydney Shaw)


Keely Smith - 1960



Close, close, with every kiss
You're close, close, closer to me
Like fortune to fame is
Like branches to the tree
Like candle to flame is
You're oh, so much closer to me

Close, close, with every touch
You're close, close, closer to me
Like winter to spring is
Like sand is to the sea
Like finger to ring is
You're oh, so much closer to me

(Instrumental Break)

Like winter to spring is
Like sand is to the sea
Like finger to ring is
You're oh, oh, so much closer to me
Always be close to me
Oh, so much closer
Ooh, closer
Aah, closer
