Close as Pages in a Book

DOROTHY FIELDS, SIGMUND ROMBERG

We'll be close as pages in a book
My love and I
So close, we can share a single look
Share every sigh

So close that before I hear your laugh
My laugh breaks through
And when a tear starts to appear
My eyes grow misty too

Our dreams won't come tumbling to the ground
We'll hold them fast
Darling as the strongest book is bound
We're bound to last

Your life is my life
And while life beats away in my heart
We'll be close as pages in a book
Never to part

Frances Langford
