| | Closer to You Lyrics Artist(Band):Stephen Stills
The ladies passing by They don't seem to notice That I'm lonesome and I cry But soon they'll listen I can tell you, tell you why Gonna make a record Gonna go sky high I just wanna be closer to you I just wanna see if you can be moved I don't wanna be a fool for you Or be alone Going to the city All the hustlers in the street Can't you imagine where This country boy's head might be Bright lights are shining I can see in front of me At night clockwork deception Won't save or set us free I just wanna be closer to you I just wanna see if you can be moved I don't wanna be a fool for you Or be alone Gonna tour the country Gonna play for all my friends Such a positive action I've got energy to lend So come on down, we're cookin' Let the rhythm get you high Bring all the ladies Tell them why, why, why I just wanna be closer to you I just wanna see if you can be moved I don't wanna be a fool for you Or be alone If you find some error in Closer to You Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Closer to You The hit that got away | Reviewer: Shirley P. | 1/16/2008 Everytime that someone tells me that Stephen Stills stopped writing truly great, memorable songs after he broke up his band Manassas (in 1973) THIS is one of first songs I refer them to:"Closer to You". It comes off what I think is surely one of the finest albums he ever did "Illegal Stills" from 1976. This song is-in every sense of the word-GREAT song writing! It has everything a well-crafted song requires:a good & engaging story, sensitive, evocative and thoughtful lyrics, truly beautiful music and an excellent arrangement, all served up with a vocal performance that I personally consider one of THE BEST that Stephen Stills ever gave! Here, he was at-IMHO-the PEAK of his vocal prowess:his voice honey-sweet, his delivery sure in its command. The emotion is deeply felt, and sincere without being maudlin. I've always believed that Stills was vastly underrated as a singer, and this song certainly provides a STRONG argument in favor of rating him as among the BEST! In looking back on Stills' career, I'll always consider this song the "hit" that got away, sadly. Hopefully, with Stills' recent brush with cancer and the resulting new rush of media attention it brought his way, folks who haven't done a retrospect on his SOLO career(or those who haven't taken a listen to it for SOME years)will get curious and take the time to do so. When they do, it's my hope that they will do themselves a BIG favor and check out "Illegal Stills" and in particular this lovely song. It WON'T disappoint!
