Closer lyrics
The CorrsI see you, walking everyday
With a smile beneath frown
But I won't look away, yeah
What does it mean
What's there to see
If I look
Closer, closer... Closer, closer
Closer, closer... Closer, closer
Where are you going
And what are you thinking at all
Your eyes show nothing more
Than a dazed oblivion
What does it mean
What will I see
When I look
Closer, closer... Closer, closer
Closer, closer... Closer, closer
Yeah
You don't see me
Watching everyday
My smile could warm your frown
And I'd never look away... (never look away)
There's more to me... (there's more to me)
Than what you see
When you look
Closer, closer... Closer, closer
Closer, closer... Closer, closer
(Closer) Clo - o - o - ser (Closer), Closer, closer...
Yeah - eh...Yeah - yeah
Yeah - yeah- yeah... Yeah - yeah
Closer, closer... Closer, no-no...
Yeah - yeah- yeah...
