She'll read your mind
She's smart as a whip
She'll suck you dry
But look at how much I drip
At the point of ecstasy
I write a symphony
Of poetry in motion
And leavin' me there to die
I tell myself
Let no one take her place
To confide in someone
And look at how much I paid
I want you next to me
Call it telepathy
We drifted into vision
And look at how much we see
Ah...
Ah...
I just wanna get closer than close to you
To the moment you discover
What the best of my love can do
And lovers fall for lover's friends
We make each other cry
Living in each others lives
And tryin' to make the fantasy come true
But I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby
I just wanna get closer than close, to you
Your soul is naked
It tells you what you want
I read your letter
And look at how close I've come
There's more for us to see
In this philosophy
We both end up in heaven
And look at how close we'd be
Ah...
Ah...
I just wanna get closer than close to you
I know that one way or the other
Any test of my faith will do
I give my heart for you to break
I give my final breath
When nothing last forever see
We can turn eternity into
And I just wanna get closer than close to you, baby
I just wanna get closer than close, to you
Bee Gees - Closer Than Close (Maurice on lead vocals!) (Live-HQ) (04:15)
Can somebody tell me why Maurice Gibb was not given more opportunity to sing lead on some of their
songs? His voice is great! Here's a chance to hear him solo. EDIT: LukeShoveller has answered my
question perfectly. See his comments. Recorded at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in 1997. Why the
advertising? Be thankful for it. Eagle Rock, the content owner of this concert has smartly chosen to
place adds on their copyrighted material and leave it available on YT. Had this been a Warner Music
Group ...
