The Closer I Get To You by Franco Reyes

 

For the month of love, I'm enjoying listening to Franco Reyes' version of The Closer I Get to You that was originally sung by Roberta Flack (I recommend her song and version of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.) I love his intro about being in the friendzone...because that was harsh, and his sly remark with his grin is annoyingly attractive. Anyway, the one thing I've come to realize last year, with uptrend of the term "5 Love Languages", that my love language is Acts of Service. I wasn't aware of this whole love language until a friend asked me to take the quiz. It's funny how as I was taking the quiz that I was laughing at myself for realizing that maybe I need an assistant more than the lover. I love people doing stuff for me, more than receiving gifts, hearing praises, getting physical touches...but quality time did come in at a close second love language...because there's nothing more comforting than just by feeling my love's presence right next to me. I've been listening to Franco's version of the song since early last year because his voice and the way he was singing it was really hot, but when I started listening to the lyrics the more I was able to connect with the song. Yeah...I get captured when you give me all you've got. XD

The closer I get to you

The more you make me see

By giving me all you got

Your love has captured me

Over and over again

I tried to tell myself that we

Could never be more than friends

And all the while inside I knew it was real

The way you make me feel
