My joy in loving you is past understanding It makes you much too eager, you're too demanding
I'm a very selfish lover with a jealous heart
If you're across the room, I'll be alone
I've got to feel your cheek against my own
As close as this
As close as this
It's very pleasant, though confining
I'll let you free while we're dying
This lovely life I'm desiring
It better suffice
So much of me and so much of you
And yet I'm not afraid
All will be
Close as pages in a book
My love and I
So close we can share a single love
Share every fire
So close that before I hear you laugh
My love breaks through
And when a tear starts to appear
My eyes glow misty too
Our dreams won't come tumbling to the ground
We'll hold them fast
Darling, as the strongest book is bound
We're bound to love
Your life is my life
And my life beats away in my heart
We'll be close as pages in a book
Never to part
