Closer...so close baby

Yeah, yeah, yeah



There we were, tenth grade in the hallways

I must admit you were the finest thing in all ways

Every day I used to walk you to class, do you remember that?

We used to make each other laugh and had each others back

We had the same birthdays and shared the same dreams

You used to love when I treated you for ice cream

Saturdays, we would meet up at the movies

It was you, your little sister, and your home girl Lucy

I used to trip when you would always be with me

Cause your mom would get mad when I would send you home with hickies

And if she ever caught me around the house

You’d be grounded for a month without a phone to call out

Now, thats okay, we would meet up at the benches

See it was all good when I didn’t have detention

And if I didn’t mention we were friends from the start

There was nothing in the way that ever keep us apart



Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)

You’re still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you’re on my mind girl)

The memory of you still shines



I wont forget the day when you went off to college

You had big dreams and you were out to seek the knowledge

I had a record deal, we started doing shows

And you wouldn’t even trip when girls would pull on my clothes

We saved our money and bought a house up out the neighborhood

And now we’re happy here together and it’s all good

Inbetween the sheets covered up real close

And making love is what you love doing real most

You said you wanted one kid, I said I wanted two

A boy and girl, and that would equal me and you

Sharing dreams while caught up in this moonlight

I never argued and never once caused a fight

Respect was the main key to our relation

Going on trips and spending three week vacations

We lived it up like real lovers were supposed to do

Now come here lady, I wanna get close to you



Closer and closer, after all this time (so close baby)

You’re still in my life (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

And over and over, your love stays on my mind (you’re on my mind girl)

The memory of you still shines



It’s been a long twenty years now and we got plenty more

And ain’t no telling what the future has for us in store

A couple more kids or maybe even grandchildren

See little ODM’s growing up making millions

Making us proud while our name will live on forever

Same club, one mind, it’ll come together

Remaining strong, as strong as our familia

Mi amor, mi corazon, y mi vida



After all these years and after all these tears

The memory of you still shines

After all these years and after all these tears

The memory of you still shines
