The sheet music:
Lyrics
I should be satisfied with your love
Contented knowing you are true
But just the same I’d feel more sure, love
If I could only have you
Chorus:
Just a little closer every day to me
That’s the way I long to hear you say you’ll be
I’d like to lock you in my heart, dear
And then lose the key
Just a little closer, when you hold my hand
Just a little word to make me understand
I know you’re mine, but still I want you
Just a little closer, dear
