That's As Close As I'll Get To Loving You

(album: Greatest Hits... And Then Some - 1997)

Maybe we'll never be seen together
At night on a crowded street
I may never reach across your body
To kill the light when you're asleep

Maybe I'll never watch you dressing
I won't sound too familiar on the phone
But I can touch your hand accidentally
And take that moment home

That's as close as I'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know
That's as close as I'll get to loving you

I won't be there when you need holding
But I'm sure that he can pull you through
But I can sing this song to everybody
And pretend it's not about you

That's as close as I'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know
That's as close as I'll get to loving you

That's as close as I'll get to loving you
Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do
I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know
That's as close as I'll get to
Yeah, that's as close as I'll get to
That's as close as I'll get to loving you
