That Close To You Lyrics

Like a bolt of lightning, like a bolt of thunder

Like a cloudy day, down at the zoo

Like a drowning man that will never go under

That close to you, yeah, that close to you

In the middle of the night

You'd ask me to make you smile

You'd come on like a one armed child

With a hole in its shoe, poor you

Everybody oughtta know

It only hurts you for a little while

So stop putting yourself on trial

For something you didn't do

Not you, to me, can't we be just like

Lovers and mothers and brothers and sorrow

Can I find a little something with a nicer view

I'm hating to plead but I'm begging to borrowJohn Prine - That Close To You - http://motolyrics.com/john-prine/that-close-to-you-lyrics.html

Just to be close to you, yeah, that close to you

In the middle of the night

You'd ask me to make you smile

You'd come on like a one armed child

With a hole in its shoe, poor you

Everybody oughtta know

It only hurts you for a little while

So stop putting yourself on trial

For something you didn't do

Not you, to me, can't we be just like

Lovers and mothers and brothers and sorrow

Can I find a little something with a nicer view

I'm hating to plead but I'm begging to borrow

Just to be that close to you, yeah, that close to you

Ooh, that close to you, yeah, that close to you
