Just To Be Close To You

Just to be close to you, girl

Just for a moment

Well, just for an hour

Just to be close to you, girl

Oh, baby

Aw, you know I've been through so many changes in my life, girl

Aw, I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody

Aw, and then again I've been down real low where there was no one in my life that needed me

Aw, and I found that material things I, I thought had so much value

Aw, girl, didn't really have any value at all

That I was a lonely man

A man with no direction, with no purpose, with no one to love and no one to love me for, for me

Aw, girl, then you, then you came into my life

You made my jagged edges smooth

You made my, whoo, you made my direction so clear

You, aw, woman, you became my purpose, my reason for living

Girl, you see, you're my heart, you're my soul, you're my stone inspiration, baby

Oh, that's why I'm standing here singing and opening my arms to you

I wanna say, child, why don't you...?

Take my hand

Aw, we'll live and love forever, yeah

Take my hand

Mm, we'll be alone, you and me, yeah

Take my hand

Girl, we'll live our lives together, yeah, together

Mm, together, yeah

Aw, aw, aw, together, together[Chorus]

Just to be close to you, girl

Just for amoment, baby

Well, just for an hour

Just to be close to you, girl

Hey, hey

I've been out there searching so very long, baby

Searching to find somebody just like you

And for some folks, it takes a lifetime, sugar

To find in this world a dream come true

Why don't you...?

Take my hand

Oh, we'll live in love forever, yeah

Take my hand

Girl, we'll be alone, you and me

Take my hand

We'll spend our lives together, together

Together, aw, aw, aw, together

Oh yeah, together

Just to be close to you, girl

Just for the moment (Aw, just for the moment)

Aw, just for the hour

Just to be close to you, girl

I need you, baby[Verse 3]

To make love, to be loved by you, baby

To have your warm body close to mine

To whisper words that make you feel like a woman

Girl, I know our love will stand the test of time

Just to be close to you, girl

For the moment, baby, for the moment, baby

For the moment, baby, for the sugar, sugar

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey, girl, I wanna say

Closer, and closer, girl, please hold me closer

My arms are still burning

Girl, you got me yearning for your love

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Shine on, won't you shine on?
