Come a Little Closer
Brandy · Full Moon [2002]
Verse I
I know that it's late
And maybe I shouldn't be so into you
It's just that tonight
I am so taken, I've fallen for you
When I look in your eyes I can see
A million possibilities
And I know you'll be leaving me soon
But tonight
Chorus
Come a little bit closer
Let me hold you baby
I will be good to you
And we can try
To forget tomorrow
And make it last forever tonight
Verse II
So if you must go
Know that I'll be missing you, wishing you closer
So let's make the most of these
Moments together, we'll never forget
And it's breaking my heart 'cause I know
That tomorrow you'll be miles away
And I catch myself wanting so much more
Tonight
Chorus
Bridge
So if you're leaving me now
Baby I don't know how
I'll ever get over you
Because you opened my eyes
To this love that's inside
Oh baby, don't ever, ever leave me
Chorus out
I know that it's late
And maybe I shouldn't be so into you
It's just that tonight
I am so taken, I've fallen for you
When I look in your eyes I can see
A million possibilities
And I know you'll be leaving me soon
But tonight
Chorus
Come a little bit closer
Let me hold you baby
I will be good to you
And we can try
To forget tomorrow
And make it last forever tonight
Verse II
So if you must go
Know that I'll be missing you, wishing you closer
So let's make the most of these
Moments together, we'll never forget
And it's breaking my heart 'cause I know
That tomorrow you'll be miles away
And I catch myself wanting so much more
Tonight
Chorus
Bridge
So if you're leaving me now
Baby I don't know how
I'll ever get over you
Because you opened my eyes
To this love that's inside
Oh baby, don't ever, ever leave me
Chorus out
