[Intro - Soft piano melody only]
(All members – whisper-light harmony ad-lib):
"Oohh... mmhmm... Close to you..."
(No drums – just piano and subtle string pads in the background)
[Verse 1 - Lead Vocal 1 (Quiet, heartfelt delivery)]
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)
[Pre-Chorus - Lead Vocal 1 + All Harmony (Quiet build)]
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)
[Chorus - All Members (Soft but full harmonies)]
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)
[Verse 2 - Lead Vocal 2 (Warm, tender delivery)]
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)
[Pre-Chorus - Lead Vocal 2 + All Harmony]
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)
[Chorus - All Members (Slightly fuller but still soft)]
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)
[Bridge - All Members (Very soft, layered vocals)]
(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)
[Final Chorus - All Members (Soft, soaring finish)]
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
