Close to You

When I was younger, so much
Younger than today
I never needed anybody's help
In any way
But now these days are gone
I'm not so self assure
Now I find I've changed my mind
I've opened up the door

(*) Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And if you do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me
Please help me

And now my life has changed in
Oh! so many ways
My independence seems to vanish
In the haze
And every now and then
I feel so insecure
I know that I need you like
I've never done before

Repeat (*)

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Repeat (*)

Green September
Burned to October brown
Bare November
Led to December's frozen ground
The seasons stumbled round
Our drifting lives are bound
To a falling crescent noon

Feather clouds cry
A vale of tears to earth
Morning breaks and
No one sees the quiet mountain birth
Dressed in a brand new day
The sun is on its way
To a falling crescent noon

Somewhere in
A fairytale forest lies one
Answer that is waiting to be heard


You and I were
Born like the breaking day
All our seasons
All our green Septembers
Burn away
Slowly we'll fade into
A sea of midnight blue
And a falling crescent noon

(Here to remind you, here to remind you,
Here to remind you, here to remind you)

What do you get when you fall in love
A girl with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your troubble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a guy
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I'm have here to remind you
Here to remind you, here to remind you
Toh! here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So, far at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Maybe it's you
Maybe it's me
Maybe it's just the constant rhythm of the sea
Maybe it's just that I've never been
The kind who can pass a lucky penny by

Maybe it's wise
Maybe it's not
Maybe it's you who brought the caring I'd forgot
Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around

Rising on the shore
The ocean came
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought
Was love for me

Couldn't we stay?
Or must we go
Couldn't we stay?
And watch the splashing rock we throw
Only a fool would want to leave this paradise
That I find whenever you're around
Only a fool

Isn't it nice to talk about the special way
That you smile whenever I'm around
Rising on the shore
The ocean's King
Walks along the waves of velveteen
His only thought
Was love for me

Couldn't we stay?
Or must you go
Couldn't we stay?
And watch the splashing rocks we throw
Only a fool would want to leave the paradise
That I find whenever you're around
Only a fool
Only a fool

The moon that rose now descended
And the love once shared now had ended
And soon the day would come

And when the day had come
The light that fell at dawn was cold
The warmth of you had gone
A taste of loneliness
Cut through the earliness
And oh the winds sang of you
Softly they said
All of my favorite dreams were dead
Leaving a cloud of sadness in my head
And though I'm buried in
A sad song of the morning wind
I know the day would bring
Another song for me to sing

But when the day had come
The light that fell at dawn was cold
The warmth of you had gone
Go-o-o-ne
