Close To You (feat. Michelle Yaneza & the Swedish All-stars) by Peter Bennborn Project

Another joyful collaboration with darling Michelle Yaneza with the golden voice, this time backed up by a 100% Swedish crew.

Originally a track inspired by the "Theme from Hill Street Blues" from my youth, we have developed this to a fine example of SC musical collaboration at its best. My gratitude goes out to all musicians involved;

- Michelle, you have a unique gift. I'll do my part to give people a chance to hear your glorious vocals, any opportunity I have.
- Jonny; bass devotee bar none. You rule!
- Anders; second collab together, a fine performance and as enthusiastic as always!
- Robert; I've worked with the best guitarists I can find on SC. You fit in like a glove!
- Magnus; West Coast aficionado, happy to have you in my world with your funky EWI!

Lyrics:

No matter what
You believe it to be
No matter what
You think you mean to me
No reason why
We can’t be free, my love

And here on earth
We’ve been together as one
For what it’s worth
Tough, but we’ve had some fun
No reason why
I can’t stay with you, my love

I know I want
You, to stay with me
And though I can’t
Help, to reflect and see
How things have changed
For better or worse, my love

Should we last
For all eternity
And leave the past
Behind, with no scrutiny
Or should we say goodbye, and move on with our lives

Chorus

Close to you
Hold on tight
From night to morning
Who, who can ask for more
Who, who can ask for more?

Close to you
Make it right
From day to evening
Who, who can ask for more
Who, who can ask for more?

I don’t really wanna ever forget you
Whatever happens I’ll be coming to get you
I’ll be coming for you…
