(Written by Natalie Cole)
Here you are right by my side
Words cannot express how I feel
Being this close to you
Heaven seems much nearer in your eyes
I wish that I could touch your lonely heart
I can see your face and I start to trembling all inside
Don't know why but it's true
We're so close and yet so far away
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about the tears we've cried
Darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about our foolish pride
Darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Here we are together now
Wanting you but don't know how
Knowing I care for you
Even if we have to start all over again
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about the tears we've cried
Darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about our foolish pride
Darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about the tears we've cried
Darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
(Open up and let my light inside) Oh----
(I just wanna be your friend) I just wanna be your friend
(Let's forget about the tears we cried)
Ooh, hoo my darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
(Open up and let my light inside) Open up, let my light inside
(I just wanna be your friend) I just wanna be your friend
(Let's forget about our foolish pride) Ooh, hoo my darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart...
Here you are right by my side
Words cannot express how I feel
Being this close to you
Heaven seems much nearer in your eyes
I wish that I could touch your lonely heart
I can see your face and I start to trembling all inside
Don't know why but it's true
We're so close and yet so far away
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about the tears we've cried
Darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about our foolish pride
Darling I just wanna love you
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo
Here we are together now
Wanting you but don't know how
Knowing I care for you
Even if we have to start all over again
Wish that I could touch your lonely heart
Open up and let my light inside
I just wanna be your friend
Let's forget about the tears we've cried
