Lyrics

You already know
I'm the one who cares
Wherever you go
I'll always be there
Don't you be concerned?
I won't let you down
Girl, you're the closest thing to heaven I have found


When you look for love
Here's the place to start
What you're dreaming of
You'll find in my heart
All I know right now
I want you around
Girl, you're the closest thing to heaven I have found


Now you're in my arms
Babe it feels so right
You'll be safe and warm
Stay with me tonight
My heart beats for you
Listen to the sound
Girl, you're the closest thing to heaven I have found


When you look for love
Here's the place to start
What you're dreaming of
You'll find in my heart
All I know right now
I want you around
Girl, you're the closest thing to heaven I have found
