Lyrics
CLOSE TO FOREVER
Copyright 2007 by Barry Meadow
We were five years old when you moved in four doors down
A girl with floppy golden hair and a spirit that lit up this old town
We'd play basketball though we weren't very good
And we never could climb all the way up the tallest tree in the neighborhood
And when I think about those days I know I've known you
Close to forever
In high school we did all the things that kids like us are supposed to do
We fell in love with others, we broke some hearts, and got ours broken too
In the hallway we'd always share our secret smile
And lean on each other like best pals do without ever asking why
And when I think about those days I know I've liked you
Close to forever
One day when we were twenty-four having lunch at the diner
We just stopped, you looked at me, I looked at you
And we both knew
We finally knew...
I wouldn't change a moment of all our years together
From kindergarten until today you've always been my treasure
And I know now that this will last until the end
You'll always be my partner, my lover and my friend
And when I think about our life I know I've loved you
Close to forever
I want to always hold you close to me, my darling
Close to forever
