Closer

Danny doted on her every word He was the sweetest talker. You're one in a million she would say. I couldn't bear to turn and look the other way. I held little Betty in my arms Not knowing if I was worthy of his charm. For they shared a life that most would crave. It would have killed him to have seen her this way. A little closer, she said. Help me to be the me that I remember way back when We were getting over being friends Cause I can't bear to lose you again. Now for some life's short but sweet For others love just falls at their feet. If he was her prince she was his queen. So who am to hide this gentle lie I'll play the man she needs. A little closer, she said. Help me to be the me that I remember way back when We were getting over being friends Cause I can't bear to lose No I just plain refuse. A little closer, she said. No need to keep the beat it's sweet surrender My heart's set. Are we ever really over being friends? Cause I can't bear to lose you again.
