Time wasn't on our side, our lives pulled us away in the face of a lonely night.
Love put us to the test, we were touching less and less in a world of emptiness.
Oh, is the answer here, right here in your arms?
Baby, hold me near and keep our love from harm.
This close, we've never been this close before.
We almost walked away.
This close, we've never been this close, I pray.
That every step I take gets closer to you.
And when this time and distance all then gets through, till we're this close, we've never been this close.
I waited by the phone, the candles burned for you, but you never did come home.
The night, ain't your closest friend, in a cold and empty bed, with the words we left unsaid.
Oh, I know the answer's here, right here in my arms.
Baby, never fear, my love will keep you warm.
This close, we've never been this close before.
We almost walked away.
This close, we've never been this close, I pray.
That every step I take gets closer to you.
And when this time and distance all then gets through, till we're this close.
I held my breath for you, never the less I knew.
Inside, I'd be with you, maybe it was right.
I've heard in time love grows, but I never dreamed we'd be this close.
Never been, never been, never been this close before.
We almost walked away.
This close, we've never been this close, I pray.
That every step I take gets closer to you.
And when this time and distance all then gets through, till we're this close.
We've never been this close to you.
