Close Enough For Love - Diane Schuur, Caribbean Jazz Project

You and I, an unmatched pair

Took the time to touch, to share

Worlds apart the night we met

We braved the odds and won the bet

Not perfect yet

But close enough for love

How old-fashioned, pure romance

Shared a kiss, we shared a dance

Shared the body and bouquet

We’ll taste the wine another day

When you and I Are close enough for love

Not just lovers, more than friends

Who knows where one starts and one ends

Tracing lights through sleepless nights

That I’ll remember always, always

Long goodbyes and tearful looks

Hold up well in poems and in books

But you and I have life to hold

The greatest story never told

Not perfect yet

But close enough for love
