7. Closer and Closer and Closer Lyrics

1974 fantasy film
The Little Prince - Closer and Closer and Closer Lyrics

FOX:
At first, I’ll hide behind the green.
Trembling as I do in winter.
In time I’ll start to feel at ease...
Show my face ... and we’ll beginter...

LITTLE PRINCE:
Beginter?

FOX:
Get closer and closer and closer.

We’ll go a glance at a time,
A small advance at a time.
We’ll be afraid a bit
And shy a bit,
Avoid each other’s eye a bit
Less often each day.
The ice’ll soften each day,
As we get closer and closer and closer

We’ll go a blush at a time,
A happy flush at a time;
Begin to laugh a bit,
And stare a bit,
And walk around on air a bit;
As gaily we grow...
As night and daily we grow...
A little closer and closer and closer.

And then one day...!
There’ll come a day...
A Christmas Eve
Midsummer Day...
A moment when,
Right there and then,
We’re gonna touch!

Then we’ll jump miles at a time,
A million smiles at a time;
Begin to love a lot,
And live a lot,
And give and give and give a lot.
Away we will go.
And every day we will grow
A little closer and closer and closer
And closer and closer and closer
And closer and closer all the time.
