Just to Be Close to You (Live) - Lionel Richie

Just to be close to you girl

Just for a moment, well just for an hour

Just to be close to you girl

Oh well ah baby aw

You know I've been thru so many changes in my life girl

Aw I've been up real high where I thought I didn't need anybody

Aw and then again I've been down real low where

There was no one in my life who needed me

Aw and I found that material things I thought had so much value

Aw girl didn't really have any value at all

There was a lonely man

A man with no direction, with no purpose

With no one to love and no one to love me for, for me

Aw girl then you, then you came into my life

You made my jagged edges smooth

You made my direction so clear and you aw woman

You became my purpose my reason for livin' girl

You see you're my heart, you're soul

You're my stone inspiration

Baby oh that's why I'm standin' here singin'

And opening my arms to you

I wanna say child why don't you

Take my hand and we'll live in love forever

Yeah take my hand ooh, we'll be alone you and me yeah

Take my hand girl

We'll live our lives together yeah together

Together yeah together

Just to be close to you girl

Just for the moment baby, just for an hour

Just to be close to you girl, hey, ooh

I've been out there searchin' so very long baby

Searchin' to find somebody just like you

And for some folks it takes a lifetime sugar

To find in this world a dream come true

Why don't you take my hand

Oh, we'll live in love forever yeah

Take my hand girl, we'll be alone you and me

Take my hand we'll spend our lives together,

Together, together, together

Just to be close to you girl

Just for the moment just for the hour

Just to be close to you girl

I need you baby

To make love to be loved by you baby

To have your warm body close to mine

To whisper words that make you feel like a woman

Girl I know our love will stand the test of time

Just to be close to you girl

For the moment baby, for the moment baby

For the moment baby

For the sugar, sugar, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

My arms are still burnin' girl

Ya got me yearnin' for your love
