Zappa, Frank - The Closer You Are Lyrics






The closer you are
The brighter the stars in the sky
And darling,
I realize
That you're the one in my life
Oh oh

My heart skips a beat
Every time
You and 1 meet
My life, my love, my dear
I can't defeat
The yearning deep in my heart
To have only you

When 1 first sow you,
I did adore you,
And all your loving ways
But then you went away,
But now you 're back to stay,
And my love for you grows stronger every
Doy-ahhh Way-ahhh Way

The closer you are,
The brighter the flames in my heart,
And darling,
We'll never part
We'll always be in love

    My friend back in the 80s went out for a little while with Moon Unit (Zappa's daughter) but in the end found he was spending much more time with Frank in his den or garage listening to records from his not inconsiderable doo wop collection, turning my friend onto labels like Red Robin and the like.

    A cover of a 1956 single by The Channels. I put both versions in my Zappa playlist. Thanks for the upload!

  30. m.... ....

    his best and most sincere doo-wop. even though its a cover

    m.... ....

    too bad it's not his,it's a cover..anyway :)

    m.... ....

    @Jarrett McColl Thanks!

    m.... ....

    @Jan-yngve Bohlin Thank you!

    m.... ....

    "When I first saw you,
    I did adore you,
    And all your lovin ways"

    Another Zappa satire to the motown girl bands. Zappa understood that men are full of shit.

    m.... ....

    This is beautiful but it's a cover. The original song was from The Channels. And I honestly think that "Memories of El Monte" is seriously one of the best doo-wop gems written by Frank Zappa (with Ray Collins in that case) :)

  31. T.... M....

    Frank Zappa genius, sadly gone.
