Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come a little closer
I will sing you my song
Just a little closer
It won't take very long
It's late and we can't play this piano too loud
'Cause the neighbors upstairs are asleep and dreaming
[Verse 2]
Come a little closer
I'll tell you my happiness
Softly, sweetly
[Verse 3]
Come a little closer
And I will sing my song
A little closer
It won't take very long
And when it's finished
I know we'll bea little closer than we are
Just a little closer than we were before
[Verse 4]
Love me, love me, say you do
Let me fly away with you
For my love is like the wind
And wild is the wind
[Verse 5]
Give me more than one caress
Satisfy this hungriness
Let the wind blow through your heart
For wild is the wind
[Verse 6]
You touch me
I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
And with a kiss, the world begins
You're spring to me, all things to me
You're life itself
[Verse 7]
Like a leaf clings to a tree
Oh, my darling, cling to me
For we're creatures of the wind
And wild is the wind
The wind, the wind
Wild is my love for you
