I ain't built an empire on a beach of shiftin' sand To see them walls broke down so fast, thought it was the end Thought I was close to livin', but never close to free I was lookin' for a high I could not find until you came down to me Oh, what a blessing for a heart that's always drifting I was lost for so long, thought that part of me was gone And the love that you were giving was the something I was missing So goodbye to sad songs and hello to movin' on Now the hell that I was livin' is through I'm closer to heaven when I'm with you I wanna be a little closer I'm a little bit closer, baby I've jumped into fire to watch the flames turn blue But there's somethin' in your smile that drives me wild And makes me come back to you When I sail my ship on a sea of loneliness You're the lighthouse that shows me where love is Oh, what a blessing for a heart that's always drifting I was lost for so long, thought that part of me was gone And the love that you were giving was the something I was missing So goodbye to sad songs and hello to movin' on Now the hell that I was livin' is through I'm closer to heaven, closer to heaven when I'm with you As a sinner and a saint in my own worst enemy You make it easy to be the man I wanna be Oh, what a blessing for a heart that's always drifting I was lost for so long, thought that part of me was gone And the love that you were giving was the something I was missing So goodbye to sad songs and hello to movin' on Now the hell that I was livin' is through I'm closer to heaven, closer to heaven when I'm with you I wanna be a little closer, closer, closer Come a little bit closer, baby *
