Come a little closer

by David Cunningham

You might know me,
And heard of my name.
Greet me on warmly,
And smile just the same.
Yeah you tell me stories,
With sparkley eyes.
But you never ever,
Come sit by my side.

Baby, come a little closer.
Sit here by my side.
Won't you please join me.
And stay for a while.

There's a secret,
That I keep in my heart.
And I'd love to tell you,
But I never can start.
And you never know that,
When you catch my gaze.
I would sit beside you,
For all of my days.

Baby, come a little closer.
Sit here by my side.
Your jeans would brush me.
Up against my thigh.

When somebody made the rules,
did they mean to make me feel like a fool,
like I do all the time?
(All the time)

Maybe I should take the chance,
even though I don't have a chance,
and I never will, will I with you.
(With you?)

I'll keep on dreaming,
Of how it could be.
In the cold of winter,
Or washed out to sea.
And you'll understand,
My affection for you.
And you'll realise then,
That you're feeling it too.

Baby, come a little closer.
Sit here by my side.
Won't you please join me.
And stay for a while.

Author's Note: Really a song, but I'll post it here anyhow.
