  • Maybe we'll never be seen together
    At night on a crowded street
    I may never reach across your body
    And kill the light when you're asleep

    Maybe I'll never watch you dressing
    Or sound too familiar on the phone
    But I can touch your hand that's against me
    And take that moment home

    That's as close as I'll get to loving you
    Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
    I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know
    That's as close as I'll get to loving you

    I won't be there when you need holding
    But I'm sure that he can pull you through
    But I can sing this song to everybody
    And pretend it's not about you

    That's as close as I'll get to loving you
    Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
    I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know
    That's as close as I'll get to loving you

    That's as close as I'll get to loving you
    Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
    I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know
    That's as close as I'll get to loving you

    That's as close as I'll get to
    Yeah that's as close as I'll get to
    That's as close as I'll get to loving you Writer/s: Jan Leyers, Paul Jefferson, Sally Dworsky
