On with the Dance the Musical - Come a little closer Lyrics
Music and lyrics by Noël Coward.
Sometimes you whisper
After a kiss,
How much I mean to you.
SHE:
You're so persistent,
Just think of this.
What is a girl to do?
When you are pleading
Close by my side,
Gaily unheeding
Time and tide.
If you have meant the nice things you say,
I might relent
And look your way.
Come a little closer,
Closer dear to me;
If you answer, 'No, Sir,'
How annoyed I'll be.
F'hy do you crush me and try to rush me,
Each single word I say?
Come a little closer,
Please don't turn away.
Sometimes you're
sweet and adorably small,
Then you're so grand
I can't reach you at all.
Come a little closer,
Closer dear to me.
FIE:
Think of the rapture
When we're at last
Lost in our love intense,
SHE:
Try to recapture
Out of the past
One little shred of sense.
You're so tenacious
With your desire;
If you were gracious
You'd soon tire.
HE:
That isn't fair, dear,
Doubting me so,
I couldn't bear
To let you go.
I'll never falter, take me on trust!
If at the altar you would just
Come a little closer,
Closer dear to rne.
Review: On with the Dance the Musical Lyrics
On with the Dance the Musical Lyrics
Cosmopolitan lady
I'm so in love
Poor little rich girl
First love
Couldn't we keep on dancing?
Raspberry time in Runcorn
Spinsters' song
The vicarage dance
Choir boys' song
Even clergymen are naughty now and then
Church parade
Come a little closer
