[Verse 1]
I've built an empire
On a beach of shifting sand
To see the walls go down so fast
Thought it was the end
Thought I was close to living
But never close to free
I was looking for a high I could not find
'Til you came down to me
[Chorus]
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something that I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven when I'm with you
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna be a little closer
Come a little bit closer, baby
[Verse 2: Gregory Porter]
I've jumped in the fire
To watch the flames turn blue
But there's something in your smile that drives me wild
And makes me come back to you
[Pre-Chorus: Gregory Porter]
When I sail my ship on a sea of loneliness
You're the lighthouse that shows me where love is
[Chorus]
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something that I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you
[Bridge]
As a sinner and a saint
And my own worst enemy
You make it easier to be the man I want to be
Oh
[Chorus]
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna be a little closer (Closer, closer)
Come a little bit closer, baby (Oh baby)
I've built an empire
On a beach of shifting sand
To see the walls go down so fast
Thought it was the end
Thought I was close to living
But never close to free
I was looking for a high I could not find
'Til you came down to me
[Chorus]
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something that I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven when I'm with you
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna be a little closer
Come a little bit closer, baby
[Verse 2: Gregory Porter]
I've jumped in the fire
To watch the flames turn blue
But there's something in your smile that drives me wild
And makes me come back to you
[Pre-Chorus: Gregory Porter]
When I sail my ship on a sea of loneliness
You're the lighthouse that shows me where love is
[Chorus]
Oh, what a blessing
For a heart that's always drifting
I was lost for so long
Thought that part of me was gone
And the love that you are giving
Was the something that I was missing
So goodbye to sad songs
And hello to moving on
Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you

You make it easier to be the man I want to be
Oh

Oh, what a blessing

Now the Hell that I was living in is through
I'm closer to Heaven
Closer to Heaven when I'm with you
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna be a little closer (Closer, closer)
Come a little bit closer, baby (Oh baby)
