Album: The Little Prince

closer And Closer And Closer [Gene Wilder & Steven Warner]

(Fox)
In time
I’ll start to feel at ease
Show my face
And will beginter

Get closer
And closer
And closer

We’ll go a glance at a time
A small advance a time
We’ll be afraid a bit
And shy a bit
Avoid each others eye a bit
Less often each day
The ice’ll soften each day
As we get closer and closer and closer

We’ll go a blush at a time
A happy flush at a time
Begin to laugh a bit
And stare a bit
And walk around on air a bit

As gaily we grow
As night and daily we grow
A little closer and closer and closer

And then one day
There’ll come a day
A Christmas eve
Midsummer day
A moment when
Right there and then
We’re gonna touch

Then we’ll jump miles at a time
A million smiles at a time
Begin to love a lot
And live a lot
And give and give and give a lot

Away we will go
And every day we will grow
A little closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer all the time

And then one day
There’ll come a day
A Christmas eve
Midsummer day
A moment when
Right there and then
We’re gonna touch

(Fox & Prince)
A small advance a time
We’ll be afraid a bit
And shy a bit
Avoid each others eye a bit
Less often each day
The ice’ll soften each day

(Prince)
As we get closer and closer and closer

(Both)
We’ll go a blush at a time
A happy flush at a time
Begin to laugh a bit
And stare a bit
And walk around on air a bit

As gaily we grow
As night and daily we grow
A little closer and closer and closer

(Fox)
And then one day

(Prince)
There’ll come a day

(Fox)
A Christmas eve

(Prince)
Midsummer day

(Fox)
Begin to love a lot
And live a lot
And give and give and give a lot

(Both)
Away we will go
And every day we will grow
A little closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer all the time
