Over the years I've tried to be a better man

Over the tears that I've lied and I've cried

Over the hill they say lies the better land and I know we can survive

Come a little closer we can make it all work out tonight

Come a little closer make me see it will be alright

Come a little closer we can have it all tonight

[ guitar ]

People drift apart when they're feeling lonely

And lovers drift apart when they're running scared

Strangers in the night beckon to you only whisper my name and I'll be there

Oh won't you come a little closer...

[ guitar ]

Come a little closer...

Oh when your touch is cold and time lies between us
it hurts so bad just barely alive

We cannot let our wonderings deceive us heaven knows we can survive

Come a little closer...

Oh won't you come a little closer oh yeah come a little closer

Come a little closer come a little closer
