A Little Closer Tonight

The evening sky is turning gold

As daylight fades away

We walk along the quiet road

With nothing much to say

Your shadow gently next to mine

Moves softly with the light

And every step we take tonight

Feels warmer than before

The wind is calm, the air is soft

The world feels far behind

And every quiet moment now

Is yours and mine to find

A little closer tonight

I feel your hand in mine

Like every silent heartbeat

Is falling into time

A little closer tonight

Your eyes begin to shine

And in this quiet moment

Your heart is touching mine

The city lights begin to glow

Like stars across the street

But nothing in this glowing night

Feels brighter than we meet

You laugh and softly look away

Like you already know

That every hidden feeling now

Is starting just to show

Maybe love is gentle

Maybe love is slow

Maybe love is simply

The warmth we start to know

A little closer tonight

The distance fades away

And every quiet second

Is asking us to stay

A little closer tonight

Like dreams are coming true

Because the place my heart has found

Is always next to you

And if tomorrow finds us

Under a brighter sky

I hope this small and perfect night

Will never say goodbye

A little closer tonight

Just you and me alone

And somewhere in this gentle love

I've finally found my home
