Closer Than Just Friends
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr.

CLOSER THAN JUST FRIENDS

Once we were much closer
So much Closer Than Just Friends
Forever, star-crossed lovers
From the beginning to the end
I can still remember
When we went around the bend
It's a long, long way from Yesterday
When we were Closer Than Just Friends

If Love's a game of Win or Lose
We play the cards that we must choose
And Broken Hearts will always be
A part of what Love means to me
When the World is at your feet
Or when you're hiding in defeat
Love will always find a way
To get you through another day

CHORUS 1:

Closer Than Just Friends
No one can understand
Why I took you as my Woman
And you took me as your Man
But somewhere out there in the sand
Just another One Night Stand
For a traveling One Man Band
Rolling out across the Land

CODA:

Closer Than Just Friends
What could I say or do
We were Closer Than Just Friends
When I fell in Love with you

Last thing I remember
As you went out the door
You said, Babe, I won't forget you
But I can't see you anymore
You gave no explanation
You didn't tell me why
It's a sad, sad situation
Why do we have to cry?

If there is a prediction
Written in the sky
Some kind of information
That can show the reason why
Why we get to say Hello
Then have to say Goodbye
Tell me where to find it
Before I start to cry

CHORUS 2:

Closer Than Just Friends
A million miles away
I am still in Love with You
Like I was Yesterday
If Love will come around again
Then who am I to say
We are Closer Than Just Friends
Till it all just goes away
