Close To You

(All members – whisper-light harmony ad-lib):

"Oohh... mmhmm... Close to you..."

(No drums – just piano and subtle string pads in the background)

I wake up to the sound of your breathing slow

You’re sleeping next to me, and I just watch you go

Through peaceful little moments, with sunlight on your face

I thank the stars above for putting you in my place

(Backing vocals - All members, very soft):

"Mmhmm... breathing slow... in my place..."

(Gentle harmonies that blend softly with the piano)

I’ve never known a love that feels this warm and sweet

Like holding onto something perfect and complete

I don’t need words to tell you what you mean to me

(All together, barely above a whisper):

"You’re all I’ll ever need... oohh..."

(String pads become slightly more present)

I just wanna be close to you – feel your hand in mine

Know that you are here, and everything is fine

Through the quiet days and peaceful nights we share

You’re the answer to my prayer – yeah, close to you

(All together, gentle and warm):

"Close to you... close to you... just close to you..."

(Light acoustic guitar joins in – no heavy drums)

We sit and talk for hours 'bout nothing and everything

You laugh at all my jokes, even when they don’t bring

A smile to anyone else – but you see my heart

And in your gentle eyes, I know we’ll never be apart

(Backing vocals - All members, soft):

"Everything... bring a smile... never apart..."

(Subtle vocal runs that don’t overpower the melody)

I used to walk through life with my head held low

But you reached out your hand and helped me let it go

Now every step I take is lighter and free

(All together):

"Because you’re here with me... oohh..."

(Piano plays a little fuller – still gentle)

I just wanna be close to you – feel your hand in mine

Know that you are here, and everything is fine

Through the quiet days and peaceful nights we share

You’re the answer to my prayer – yeah, close to you

(All together):

"Close to you... close to you... just close to you..."

(String section swells gently – never loud)

(Lead Vocal 1, almost spoken): When the world feels too loud...

(Lead Vocal 2, gentle): And the days feel too long...

(All together, in harmony):

"I just hold you a little tighter, and I know it’s alright

There’s no need to rush or fight – we have all our time

Just being close to you..."

(Only piano and strings – completely stripped back)

I just wanna be close to you – feel your hand in mine

Know that you are here, and everything is fine

Through the quiet days and peaceful nights we share

You’re
