(I want to be near you)
I want to hear what you have to say
(As long as I'm near you)
Nothing will seem to pass away

Long as I'm near you
Longing to hear you
Long as I'm near you

I want to believe you
When you say the things you do
And so I believe you
You make it all appear so true

Glad that I found you
It's good to be around you
Good to be near you

When it comes to making time
Little girl, you sure made mine
It's been my day
To make my way to stay

(I want to be near you)
You're my all
You're my everything
(As long as I'm near you)
There's a song in my heart to sing

A song of your laughter
Is all that I'm after
I want to be near you

Love is such a happy song
And when love comes along
It's good to be alive
It's good that you arrived on time

(I want to be near you)
(I want to be near you)
(I want to be near you)

(As long as I'm near you)
(As long as I'm near you)
(As long as I'm near you)

(I want to believe you)
(I want to believe you)
(I want to believe you)

(And so I believe you)
(And so I believe you)
(And so I believe you)

(I want to be near you)
(I want to be near you)
(I want to be near you)

(As long as I'm near you)
(As long as I'm near you)
(As long as I'm near you)

(I want to believe you)
(I want to believe you)
(I want to believe you)

(And so I believe you)
(And so I believe you)
(And so I believe you)
