CLOSER STILL
(Tish Hinojosa)


Tish Hinojosa - 1990
Album : Culture Swing


Closer still than e'er my arms have held you
Or the beating rhythm of my heart
I belong to you in frozen mem'ries
And framed in gold is my desire

Closer still than starlight soft upon you
For though a million shine tonight
Deep inside is where one lonely forgotten dream 
Is waiting here, closer still

(Instrumental Break)

Closer still is every word that takes me
To the fire burnin' without end
In the moonlight pale a song is sayin'
That time will find us back again

Closer still our shadows must be swayin'
For I can almost hear you say
Deep inside is where one lonely forgotten dream 
Is waiting here, closer still
