Close as Pages in a Book

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
