SONG LYRICS

CLOSE TO MY HEART

John E Dosher & Cheryl Taylor-West

Her smile has the glow of the sunlight
On a foggy mountain day
Her tears are sweeter than honey or wine
Like a baby who's just learned to pray
She moves through the room like a dancer
Waiting for the music to start
She found her way to my island
And dances close to my heart

She talks to me like a woman in love
And looks at me unafraid
Her words flow though me like a raging river
After storms on a summer day
When I kiss her royal sweetness 
With the passion of a hopeful art
She comes alive so gracefully
And touches me close to my heart
Yea, she touches me close to my heart

Her lips forms a smile as I kiss her
And she calls my name out loud,
Tells me “Johnny, Johnny, it’s OK.”
And it all goes away somehow.
She gazes at me with the magic
Of a journey to a distant star
Then she carries me off to her island
And holds me close to her heart
She carries me off to her island
And holds me close to her heart


She talks to me of her secrets
And I whisper my desires
Then we dance and sing and make love all night
And never seem to put out the fire
This love is all we have together
This love is gonna take us far
We’ll sail away to our island
And live there Close to our hearts
We’ll sail away to our island
And live there Close to our hearts
We’ll sail away to our island
And live there Close to our hearts
