Across the miles
it's funny to me
how far you are but how
near you seem to be
I could talk all night
just to hear you breathe
I could spend my life
just living this dream
You're all I'll ever need

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close

With all the lovers
I used to know
I kept my distance I never let go
But in your arms I know I'm safe
'Cause I've never been held
And I've never been kissed in this way
You're all I'll ever need
You're all I'll ever need

You give me strength
You give me hope
You give me someone to love someone to hold
When I'm in your arms
I need you to know
I've never been
I've never been this close

Close enough to see it's true
Close enough to trust in you
Closer now than any words can say - yeah

And when, when I'm in your arms,
I need you to know I've never been
I've never been this close
