(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 You made my day, you made 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 The 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 (And so I believe you) And so I believe you, and so I believe you (I want to believe you) I want to believe you, I want to believe (As long as I'm near you) As long as I'm near you, as long as I'm near you
