Kate Wolf - Close To You lyrics

I like the way you smile It reminds me of a happy child It makes me feel a little less alone I miss you when you're gone The hours they stretch on and on Like water dripping slowly on a stone You're such a mystery the way you look at me With that light that shines from some place I can't go Did it take you by surprise when you realized That you loved me though you've never told me so? You know I want to say so many things to you today But you've got me feeling like I'm flying blind I think if you were here, the words would ring crystal clear From this heart that's learning how to speak its mind You fight for truth with love You're an iron hand in a velvet glove It's the kind of strength that makes a gentle man But I'm a child of the wind I've been blown away but I'm back again I just don't know if you really understand Sunlight moves across the floor There's a soft breeze through the open door A sleepy cat lying on the windowsill On this lazy afternoon like honey on a silver spoon The memory of your smile is with me still Don't tell me that it's wrong to say I love you with a song When the words won't come, I've seen you do it too This road winds along, one day we'll be gone But I'll have this song to bring me close to you I'll have this song to bring me close to you
