Lyrics:

 * Poppy:
 * The closer I get to you
 * The more you make me see
 * By giving me all you've got
 * Your love has captured me


 * Branch:
 * Over and over again
 * I tried to tell myself that we
 * Could never be more than friends
 * And all the while inside I knew it was real
 * The way you make me feel


 * Poppy:
 * Lying here next to you
 * Time just seems to fly
 * Needing you more and more
 * Let's give love a try


 * Branch:
 * Oooh-ooh-ooh, whoa-oooooh
 * Sweeter and sweeter love grows
 * And heaven's there for those
 * Who fooled the tricks of time
 * With the hearts of love they find
 * True love in a special way


 * Poppy:
 * The closer I get to you
 * The more you make me see
 * By giving you all I've got
 * Your love has captured me


 * Branch:
 * Over and over again
 * I tried to tell myself that we
 * Could never be more than friends
 * And all the while inside I knew it was real
 * The way you make me feel


 * Poppy:
 * The closer I get to you
 * The more you make me see
 * By giving me all I've got
 * Your love has captured me


 * Branch:
 * The closer I get to you
 * The feeling comes over me


 * Poppy (spoken):
 * Me too


 * Branch:
 * Pulling closer...


 * Both:
 * Sweet as the gravity
