Cassandra Wilson Closer To You
How soft a whisper can get
When youre walking through a crowded space
I hear every word being said
And I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you
How long an hour can take
When youre starting into open space
When I feel Im slipping further away
I remember that everyday
I get a little bit closer to you
These are the days
That I wont get back
I wont hear you cry
Or hear you laugh
And when its quiet
And I dont hear a thing
I can always hear you breathe
You know there's nowhere else
I've wanted to be
Than be there when you need me
I'm sorry too
But dont give up on me
And just remember that when you get asleep
I got a little bit closer to you
Closer to you closer to you closer to you
