Close to Heaven by Color Me Badd

I remember listening to this song on a school night. Augy bought a copy of this album and we listened to it late night. Our sound system at that time a old beaten up multi deck tape player. I was in the sentimental mood I guess, thinking of my childhood crush while singing this song with the effort of trying to remember the lyrics, so i can sing it tomorrow. It had some Spanish lines which I thought was cool... and smooth!

I remember walking to school singing this song, carrying bag full of books, the weight probably would crush lesser mortals but i pressed on, with a smirk on my face, the cool breeze touching my skin, the the smell of the morning, thinking that once I saw my crush for that day, the school day would be OK.

You know your the only one for me
The thought of you
picks me up when I am lonely
I get all crazy when you call out my name
I’m close to heaven when your touching me

You say that you love me
Girl, I know it
I feel the same but still so afraid to show it
I get all crazy when you call out my name
I’m close to heaven when your touching me

It’s gotta be love, sweet love (love sweet love)
Whenever your near me
Ooh you make me happy, baby
Love, sweet love (love... sweet love)
Whenever your near me
Ooh you make me happy, baby

Me vuelvo loco pensando en
Tu amor
Cuandote veo, temblo por
Tu calor
Cerca del cielco, alma de
Mi corazon, mis ladios
Brillan llenos de emocion

It’s gotta be love, sweet love (love sweet love)
Whenever your near me
Ooh you make me happy, baby
Love, sweet love (love... sweet love)
Whenever your near me
Ooh you make me happy, baby


All I wanted
All I ever wanted was you
And for you to love me
You keep me warm
And you give me love
I know you’re the one for me

You know your the only one for me
The thought of you
picks me up when I am lonely
I get all crazy
When you call out my name
I’m close to heaven
When your touching me


It’s gotta be love, sweet love (love sweet love)
Whenever your near me
Ooh you make me happy, baby
Love, sweet love (love... sweet love)
Whenever your near me
Ooh you make me happy, baby

Mi vida sonyado asi
Esta cancion que estoy
Cantando es solo para ti
Mirate, tocarte, besarte asi
Ya no lo aguanto mas
Querida mi vida sonydo asi

Cantando es solo para ti
Mirate, tocarte, besarte asi
Yo no o aguanto mas
(Heaven’s only one kiss away)
