Closer and Closer and Closer

sung by Gene Wilder (the Fox) and Steven Warner (the Little Prince)

(Fox)
In time
I'll start to feel at ease
Show my face
And we'll beginter

Get closer
And closer
And closer

We'll go a glance at a time
A small advance a time
We'll be afraid a bit
And shy a bit
Avoid each others eye a bit
Less often each day
The ice'll soften each day
As we get closer and closer and closer

We'll go a blush at a time
A happy flush at a time
Begin to laugh a bit
And stare a bit
And walk around on air a bit


As gaily we grow
As night and daily we grow
A little closer and closer and closer

And then one day
There'll come a day
A Christmas eve
Midsummer day
A moment when
Right there and then
We're gonna touch

Then we'll jump miles at a time
A million smiles at a time
Begin to love a lot
And live a lot
And give and give and give a lot

Away we will go
And every day we will grow
A little closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer all the time

And then one day
There'll come a day
A Christmas eve
Midsummer day
A moment when
Right there and then
We're gonna touch

(Fox & Little Prince)
A small advance a time
We'll be afraid a bit
And shy a bit
Avoid each others eye a bit
Less often each day
The ice'll soften each day

(Little Prince)
As we get closer and closer and closer

(Fox & Little Prince)
We'll go a blush at a time
A happy flush at a time
Begin to laugh a bit
And stare a bit
And walk around on air a bit

As gaily we grow
As night and daily we grow
A little closer and closer and closer

(Fox)
And then one day

(Little Prince)
There'll come a day

(Fox)
A Christmas eve

(Little Prince)
Midsummer day

(Fox)
Begin to love a lot
And live a lot
And give and give and give a lot

(Both)
Away we will go
And every day we will grow
A little closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer and closer all the time
