[Verse 1] There was a room with golden light, Where mom would hum through quiet nights. She’d play the songs that made her eyes Turn soft and far away. [Chorus] Close to you, (Close to you) Every note we played, Every song stayed with me, From a scratchy tune on worn LPs. Close to you, (Close to you) Carpenters would sing in harmony— We’d smile and sway. With this song, I'm never alone. [Verse 2] Cassette clicks and radio sighs, Dancing through the lullabies. Karen’s voice, a lull of skies— My mother’s love in sound. [Chorus] Close to you, (Close to you) Every note we played, Every song stayed with me, From a scratchy tune on worn LPs. Close to you, (Close to you) Carpenters would sing in harmony— We’d smile and sway. With this song, I'm never alone. [Bridge] She said: 'This song will teach you more,' I played it till my soul could soar. [Final Chorus] Close to you, Every note we played, Every song stayed with me, Through the tapes we wore so endlessly. Close to you, Karen’s voice became our melody— Still plays today. With this song, I'm never alone. it’s time for me to go now. I’ll come back again.
