Porter Wagoner - Closer by the hour

^CYou're the sweetest one I know And ^FI just can't let you ^Cgo

I just dream of holding you inside my ^G7arms I go ^Chome each night to stay

But ^FI just can't stay ^Caway And we get ^Fcloser ^G7closer by the ^Chour^C7

We get ^Fcloser by the hour Though we've ^Ctried with all our power

To stay away from each other's ^G7arms We get ^Fcloser by the hour

Like the ^Cbee goes to the ^Fflower Closer ^G7closer by the ^Chour

And ^FI feel your lips in^Csist But I do your will and love you more and ^G7more

Al^Cthough we know it's wrong We ^Fcan't stay where we be^Clong

And we get ^Fcloser ^G7closer by the ^Chour

We get ^Fcloser by the hour Though we've ^Ctried with all our power

To stay away from each other's ^G7arms We get ^Fcloser by the hour

Like the ^Cbee goes to the ^Fflower Closer ^G7closer by the ^Chour
