THE CLOSER YOU GET
(Mark Gray / James P. Pennington) 1983

Alabama 1983


The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, the further I fall.

Could I be dreamin'
Is this really real
'Cause there's somethin’ magic
The way that I feel in your arms tonight.

The closer you get oh yeah, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get, hmmmm, the further I fall.

Keep fallin', woa yeah yeah keep fallin'
Umm fallin' woa yeah yeah, I'm fallin'.

Yes I'm fallin' (Chorus: Yes I'm fallin', Yes I'm fallin')
Yes I'm fallin' (Chorus: Yes I'm fallin', Yes I'm fallin')
Yes we're fallin' (Chorus: Yes we're fallin', Yes we're fallin').

The closer you get oh yeah, the further I fall hmmmm
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall, oh yeah
The closer you get hmmmmm, the further I fall.

The closer you get, the further I fall
I'll be over the edge now in no time at all
I'm fallin' faster and faster and faster with no time to stall
The closer you get hmmm…… (fade)……
