Close to you
I will always stay,
Close to you,
Though you're far away.
You'll always be near,
As though you were here
By my side;
No matter where,
In my dreams I'll find you there.


Close to me,
Sharing your caress,
Can't you see
You're my happiness?
Wherever you go my heart will go too,
What can I do?
It only wants to be
Close to you.


Close to me,
Sharing your caress,
Can't you see
You're my happiness?
Wherever you go my heart will go too,
What can I do?
If you knew the joys you bring,
How my hungry heart would sing
If only we could be
Close to you.
