Closer to You - Cassandra Wilson

How soft a whisper can get

When you’re walking through a crowded space

I hear every word that you said

I remember that everyday

I get a little bit closer to you, to you

How long an hour can take

When you’re staring into open space

When I feel I’m slipping further away

I remember that everyday

I get a little bit closer to you, to you

These are the days that I won’t get back

Won’t hear you cry or hear you laugh

When it’s quiet I don’t hear a thing

I can always hear you breathe

You know there’s nowhere else that I’ve wanted to be

But be there when you need me

I’m sorry too but don’t give up on me

And just remember that when you went to sleep

I got a little bit closer to you, closer to you, closer to you

Oh, closer, closer to you

Little bit closer, closer to you

I got closer to you
