close enough for love
You and I, an unmatched pair Took the time to touch, to share Worlds apart the night we met We braved the odds and won the bet Not perfect yet but close enough for love  How old fashioned, pure romance Shared a kiss and shared a dance Shared the body and bouquet We'll taste the wine another day When you and I are close enough for love  Not just lovers, more than friends Who knows where one starts, one ends Tracing lights through sleepless nights That I'll remember always and always  Long goodbyes and tearful looks Hold up well in poems and books But you and I have life to hold The greatest story never told Not perfect yet but close enough for love  Not just lovers, more than friends Who knows where one starts, one ends Tracing lights through sleepless nights That I'll remember always and always  Long goodbyes and tearful looks Hold up well in poems and books But you and I have life to hold The greatest story never told Not perfect yet but close enough for love, for love
