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
