CLOSE TO ME
(Talking)
This is for something to do
Let's see...
(Singing)
Would you mind if I approach you?
With this song may I tell you that I've watched you
How very long that I've watched you from afar
And now right here you are so close to me
Now I know it isn't proper
To insist but my heart would not allow me
To resist
So forgive me if I'm bold
But my story must be told close to you
I'm not pretending that Im perfect
I am nothing with no vanity
But I want you
And I need you can't you see? You're just a part of me
So just sit there for a moment
While I sing and remember with each note
This love that I bring, and if you enjoy the song
Then It's clear that you belong, close to me
(Talking)
I got a bunch of other songs that other people could sing... That are uh...
That I don't agree with... (Laughing) I wrote 'em
I got some songs that other people could sing very well
(Recorder) "You do whatever you feel man"
Yeah Well then I won't do 'em (Laughing)
Yeah
(Recorder) "Do whatever comes to your mind, why don't you do some of the songs you wrote in prison?"
Yeah, just the ones that are sad man
(Recorder) "Groovy, let's get to some sad songs man, let's do it let's do some sadness... I'm down..."
(Laughing) All right
(Recorder) "I'm down if you're up!"
Yes, uh huh, (Laughing)
