I know I’m a big dork, but the beginning lyrics to this song always cause me to tear up. The words to this song are powerful and I hope we can all keep them in mind as we wait on our journey to publication!
Closer To Love Lyrics
She got the call today
One out of the gray
And when the smoke cleared
It took her breath away
She said she didn’t believe
It could happen to me
I guess we’re all one phone call from our knees
We’re gonna get there soon
If every building falls
And all the stars fade
We’ll still be singing this song
The one they can’t take away
I’m gonna get there soon
She’s gonna be there too
Cryin’ in her room
Prayin’ oh, Lord come through
We’re gonna get there soon
Oh, it’s your light
Oh, it’s your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to shoulder the weight
Cryin’ out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Meet me once again
Down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin’
Down with the wind
And don’t apologize
For all the tears you’ve cried
You’ve been way too strong now for all your life
I’m gonna get there soon
You’re gonna be there too
Cryin’ in your room
Prayin’ Lord come through
We’re gonna get there soon
Oh, it’s your light
Oh, it’s your way
Pull me out of the dark
Just to shoulder the weight
Cryin’ out now
From so far away
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Cause you are all that I’ve waited for all of my life
(We’re gonna get there)
You are all that I’ve waited all of my life
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love (You are all that I’ve waited for)
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love
Closer to love (Cause you are all that I’ve waited for)
Closer to love
Pull me closer to love

I totally believe in having songs! They can change your mood and inspire you. I played “I Sing the Body Electric” from Fame over and over and over on the day my book went to acquisitions so I could stay in a positive mood all day and not turn dark as we writers often do. The song worked!
