Over the years I've tried to be a better man
Over the tears that I've lived and I've cried
Over the hill they say lies a better land
And I know we can survive

Come a little closer we can make it all work out tonight
Come a little closer help me see it will be all right
Come a little closer we can have it all tonight

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 we can make it all work out tonight
Come a little closer help me see it will be all right
Come a little closer we can have it all tonight

Come a little closer We can make it all work out tonight
Come a little closer help me see it will be all right
Come a little closer we can have it all tonight

When your touch is cold and time lies between us
It hurts so bad just barely alive
We cannot let our wonderings deceive us
And I know we can survive
Come a little closer we can make it all work out tonight
Come a little closer help me see it will be all right
Come a little closer we can have it all tonight

Oh won't you come a little closer
Ooh yeah come a little closer
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Come a little closer we can have it all tonight

Oh won't you come a little closer
Ooh, ooh, ooh come a little closer
Mmm, yeah, won't you
Come a little closer we can have it all tonight
