Yellow Days - Getting Closer

I woke up this morning
And to my surprise
As the day was dawning
There's nothing on my mind

Yeah, it's been a long time
Yeah, it's been a while
Since I got out of bed
Oh, with a smile, ooh

[Chorus]
I'm getting closer, oh
I'm getting closer, yeah

And as walk down the street
It seems that every person that I meet
Seems happy inside
Smiling as they walk by
I hear the radio playing tunes
And for once it's got a groove
And the sunshine is up
I can hear people laughing loud

Oh, yeah it's been a long time
Oh, yeah it's been a while
Since I spent the whole day
Oh, with a smile

[Chorus]
I'm getting closer, oh
I'm getting closer, yeah

With the music that I make
I make sure they know my name
And by the time that I'm gone
There'll be no more songs to be sung
I guess music's my best friend
I mean it never ever lets me down
Oh, sweet melody
It's the glorious sound
Music brings us together
Makes us all one
And I know load it forever
There'll be songs being sung, ooh

[Chorus]
I'm getting closer, oh
I'm getting closer, yeah

Now life may be tough, children
But don't give up now, it's only just begun
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
