Lyrics Close as Pages in a Book - Dick Haymes , Deanna Durbin

My joy in loving you is past understanding
It makes me much too eager, much too demanding
I'm a very selfish lover with a jealous heart
If you should cross the room, I'd be alone
I've got to feel your cheek against my own
As close as this
As close as this
It's very pleasant, slow confining
I'll let you free while we're dining
This lovely life you're designing
Suppose it should fade
So much of me and so much of you
And yet I'm not afraid
For we'll be close as pages in a book
My love and I
So close we can share a single look
Share every sigh
So close that before I hear your laugh
My laugh breaks through
And when a tear starts to appear
Your eyes grow misty too
Then our dreams won't come tumbling to the ground
We'll hold them fast
Darling, as the strongest book is bound
We're bound to last
Your life is my life
And while life beats away in my heart
We'll be close as pages in a book
Never to part
Our dreams won't come tumbling to the ground
We'll hold them fast
Darling, as the strongest book is bound
We're bound to last
Your life is my life
And while life beats away in my heart
We'll be close as pages in a book
Never to part
