Patti Ecker: Listen
Too Close, Too Soon
(Patti Ecker)
Too Close Too Soon
I said goodbye for a while Little did I know that I’d be so hard pressed to smile
My only comfort is a bottle and a spoon
Did we get too close too soon?
I tried to tear myself away from you, ah, but
Don’t you know that absence only makes the heart go nuts?
Is this just barking at the moon?
Did we get too close too soon?
Bridge:
My friends tell me it’s the right thing to do
It just feels completely wrong to be away from you
I’m all kinds of outta here
And one kind of sentimental fool, dear
Oh, boy! Talk about the moon in June
Did we get too close too soon?
Bridge #2
I ache, I sigh, I yearn for your touch
This separation makes me want you twice as much
I guess everything mellows out in time!
These frantic love affairs aren’t worth a lousy dime
It’s just that this Palooka took me to the moon
And he got too close too soon
You took me to the moon
Too close too soon
