Close to You

Love songs, sweet love songs
Love songs, sweet, sweet, sweet loveHasn't every way to write a love song been written
And hasn't every way to tell the story been told
Hasn't everyone been moved and soothed by the melodies
Aren't there other tales to be told, other stories to unfoldHaven't we anything else to say
Or are we merely trapped to find another way
To say the same things
Don't we have other thoughts, other dreamsGirl it seems every time I search that quiet place
I find myself with you face to face
In my mind there's nothing left to say except, "I love you"Love songs, sweet love songs
(I love you)Hasn't every way to sing a love song been sung
And hasn't every way to phrase the message been done
Haven't all the great ones sung the melodies that've wooed you
And aren't there other songs to be sung with messages untoldSeems that we've lost our will to challenge the mind
And be a unique kind of art it's been for me
Oh a teacher or prophet by pen
Girl but wait, don't get me wrong, I love a good good love song
One that gets me real good, when I close my eyes
I only seem to find the words "I love you""I love you", girl I can't help myself
(Love songs, sweet love songs)
And as long as you keep needin' them
I'll keep servin' 'em till my last breath
(Love songs, sweet, sweet, sweet love)
No, I'm not alone, there're others like you and me
'Cause there's always someone who wants
To tell their story of needIt's a simple story, one as old as time
(Love songs, sweet love songs)
And we all know that sometimes
Love don't have no reason or rhyme
(Love songs, sweet, sweet, sweet love)
Hingin' on to those love songsOh love, oh love, oh love
Love songs, sweet love songs
