Sunny days and sweet romances,
Childhood dreams, forgotten chances pass you by.
Time has gone, and far behind you
Music plays and lights that blind you fade and die.
So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.

Feel as if it's now or never,
We can make it last for ever,
Don't ask why.
Closer to you, don't ever find my way,
Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay.
Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day
Closer to you, I will live my life
Closer to you.

In the evening, dancing shadows
Gather, caring, where the wind blows, fancy free.
In our world of empty spaces
Strangers in familiar places, you and me.
So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.

There's no need to wonder whether
Happiness we'll share together
Can't it be
Closer to you, I don't ever find my way,
Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay.
Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day
Closer to you, I will live my life
Closer to you.

So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.

There's no need to wonder whether
Happiness we'll share together
Can't it be
Closer to you, I don't ever find my way,
Closer to you, make it easy, make me stay.
Closer to you, yeah I will turn that night into day
Closer to you, I will live my life
Closer to you.
