Amaj7                      Dmaj9  C#m7  F#m
      The closer I get to  you
Amaj7                      Dmaj9  C#m7  F#m

Could never be more than friends
             Em7     A7

The way you make me feel

Lying here next to  you
A                   Dmaj9  C#m7  F#m
Time just seems to  fly
A                    Dmaj9  C#m7  F#m
Needing you more and more
A                   Dmaj9  C#m7  A
Let's give love a   try

And Heaven's there for those

Who fooled the tricks of time
          Em7       A7         Dmaj7

True love in a special way
