Closer Lyrics - Aaron Sledge - Aaron Sledge

[Verse 1:] 

Yes I'm just watching my step, 

Trying not to upset you, 

And I'm just being careful, 

With everything that I say and do, 

I don't wanna do anything if it's not approved, 

Cause you're my gold and my mission, 

My every intention is you... 

[Chorus:] 

So what I'm gonna do is do, 

What I gotta do to please you, 

If it means giving all myself, 

I gotta do, just to get next to you, 

I gotta do... 

You know I need to be, 

Want to be, 

Gotta be, 

Closer to you, 

Is this what I need to do, 

I don't know how can I ever say, 

That I'll please you, 

Oh lord it's not about me no more 

I need to be, 

Want to be, 

Gotta be 

Closer to you 

(It's what you called me to, 

It's what you expect me to) 

I don't know exactly what 

You would do if you were in my shoes 

I'm gonna be closer to you 

Hmm hmmm closer to you... 

Ooh ooh 

Hmm hmmm closer to you... 

[Verse 2:] 

As I inch my way 

Closer to your will I can't wait 

(Noo noo) 

It seems the closer I get, 

Father you seem so far away 

(So far away) 

But I will keep pressing cause I have to, 

Crawling cause I want you 

Reaching cause I need you 

(Reaching cause I need you) 

I'm not ever gonna stop cause I love you 

(Oh lord) 

And if I had to 

I couldn't find nobody to replace you 

[Chorus] 

[Bridge:] 

Lord I can't go anywhere if you're not there 

Lord I can't speak a word if I don't hear you clear 

I'm just saying 

Lord I want be close to thee, 

Every hour, every day I need thee, 

So draw me near, near to you, 

I gotta be, 

Close to thee, 

Closer than most, 

Cause I need you, closer than close, 

Cause I need to feel you breathe on me, 

Lord, breathe... 

[Chorus]
