Close To You Lyrics


La la la la la la
La la la la la la
I know it's hard (I know it's hard)
To see me go (to see me go)
To see me standing, yeah, so close to the door
I know it's hard when I'm far away
But I promise you when I get back, I'll stay (I'll stay)
Close to your hands
Close to your legs
Close to the way your body fits on the bed
Close to your hips
Close to your lips
Close to the only one that I can't resist
Close to your laugh
Close to your words
Giving you everything I know you deserve
Close to you, baby
Close to your world

Close to you
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
Baby, turn off that frown (turn off that frown)
Wipe off your face (wipe off that face)
You know I'm weak to it (so weak)
And you're making me late
Turn off that frown and come over here (won't ya come over)
I'm gonna say this like I did before
Gonna make it crystal clear when I'm
Close to your hands
Close to your legs
Close to the way your body fits on the bed
Close to your hips
Close to your lips
Close to the only one that I can't resist
Close to your laugh
Close to your words
Giving you everything I know you deserve
Close to you, baby
Close to your world
Close to you
I'll be counting down the days
With a picture of your face in my heart
Before you know it I'll be there
Touching you in ways, so close that I'll erase the time apart
So close to you, girl
Close to your hands
Close to your legs
Close to the way your body fits on the bed
Close to your hips
Close to your lips
Close to the only one that I can't resist
Close to your laugh
Close to your words
Giving you everything I know you deserve
Close to you, baby (close to you, baby)
Close to your world
I'll always be close to you
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Marc Cohn (born July 5, 1959 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his song Walking In Memphis (often misattributed to Bruce Springsteen or Michael Bolton) from his self-titled 1991 album Marc Cohn.

According to the Walking In Memphis Songfacts, Cohn was discovered by Carly Simon in the mid-'80s when he was with a 14-piece band called The Supreme Court. Atlantic Records signed him in 1989, but the first attempts to record his debut album with Tracy Chapman 's producer David Kerschenbaum failed. Ten months later, he tried again, producing the set himself with help from the little-known Ben Wisch, who had helped him with his demos. Finally released in 1991 when Cohn was 31 years old, his self-titled debut album was a huge hit, thanks to the massive success of "Walking In Memphis." Cohn won the 1991 Grammy for Best New Artist award, beating out both Boyz II Men and Seal and Seal. Cohn never matched the chart success of this song, but like his musical heroes Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne , he remained a critical and artistic success as a songwriter and performer.

He has issued two other studio albums to date, The Rainy Season (1993) and Burning the Daze (1998), both on Atlantic Records. A self-released live compilation, Live 04-05 (2005), is being sold at concerts on his current tour.

He is the most famous graduate of Beachwood High School in Beachwood, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb. He attended Oberlin College.

The Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1992 was awarded to Cohn.

Cohn is married to ABC News journalist Elizabeth Vargas whom he met at the 1999 US Open after being introduced by Andre Agassi. Cohn and Vargas have two sons: Zachary Raphael (born on January 31, 2003) and Samuel Wyatt (born on August 16, 2006). Cohn has two other children—Max and Emily—from a previous marriage.

On August 7, 2005, Cohn was shot in the head during an attempted carjacking, following a concert with Suzanne Vega in Denver, Colorado. He was hospitalized and released the next day. The remaining concerts on the tour were cancelled.

Cohn released "The Very Best of Marc Cohn" in June 2006, and his 4th studio album, "Join The Parade", was released on October 9, 2007.
