Closer Lyrics

Barbra Streisand Closer

As close as the sea is to the seashore
Tide still rises twice a day
That’s just the ocean’s way of getting
Closer, closer

As close as today is to tomorrow
At midnight they can finally touch
‘Cause every minute brings them
That much closer, closer

So on this silent night
I call your name
And suddenly all time and space disappears
I see your face in firelight

I hold you close in memory
And even though you’re gone
I know you’re here
As close as the glow is to the ember

You’ve always been a part of me
Now living in my heart
You’re even closer, closer

I see your face in firelight
I hold you close in memory
And even though I know you’re gone
I know you’re here

As sure as there’s snowfall in December
Your love lives in everything
Simmer, winter, fall or spring
Every thought of you brings us closer

The distance may be large or small
Someday I pray that we may all be closer
Closer, closer
