Lyrics
Close to you my ev’ry dream comes true
And I find my peace of mind depends on you
For close to you my heart is satisfied
And I’m in seventh heaven when I’m by your side
Chorus
Where you are, that’s where I want to be
For where you are is paradise for me
When you are near my world is in it’s glory
When you’re away, well that’s another story
Oh darling, where you are becomes my treasure Isle
For my lucky star is hiding in your smile
If you should ever leave me
Then should you find you care
Just tell me where you are, and I’ll be there
