(Kent Blazy - Kim Williams - Neil Thrasher)

It's just me and you and the man in the moon shinin' down
A blanket of stars up above and a quilt on the ground
I've waited so long to get you all alone in the dark
I just wanna hold you 'til i feel the beat of your heart.

I wanna get closer, closer
Closer to moonlight that your body's wrapped in tonight, yeah
Closer to heaven than I've ever been in my life
Before the nights over I wanna get closer.

My two achin' arms have been longin' to hold you this way
These lips have been prayin' that I'd find the right words to say
I dont want to own you or try to control how you feel
I want you to need me, believe me the feeling is real.

I wanna get closer, closer
Closer to moonlight that your body's wrapped in tonight, yeah
Closer to heaven than I've ever been in my life
Before the nights over I wanna get closer.

--- Instrumental ---
(Ooohh, yeah)

Oh ,closer to moonlight that your body's wrapped in tonight, oh
Closer to heaven than I've ever been in my life
Before the nights over I wanna get closer.

Before the nights over I wanna get closer...
