I didn't know the words to say
Everything was clumsy on day one
But we are learning day by day
A beautiful story has just begun
One little step, one little smile
We’re walking side by side, mile by mile
The puzzle is coming together now
We’re making a harmony somehow
Every little thing I learn about you
Brings me closer to the dream I knew
Our love is growing
Every little thing I feel around you
Makes me happy that I finally found you
Our love is growing
Step by step, I'm closer to you
I thought it was too hard for me
To truly find a way to shine
But look at us right now and see
Every single step was worth the time
One little step, one little smile
We’re walking side by side, mile by mile
The puzzle is coming together now
We’re making a harmony somehow
Every little thing I learn about you
Brings me closer to the dream I knew
Our love is growing
Every little thing I feel around you
Makes me happy that I finally found you
Our love is growing
Step by step, I'm closer to you
Every little thing I learn about you
Brings me closer to the dream I knew
Our love is growing
Every little thing I feel around you
Makes me happy that I finally found you
Our love is growing
Step by step, I'm closer to you
I'm closer to you
I'm closer to you

Closer to You
UTATANE Music Academy
This track was created exclusively with major chords (zero minor chords), specifically designed for those practicing major chords.
It is also highly recommended for power chord practice and for studying guitar arrangements and approaches within a song.
Despite the major-only constraint, certain parts evoke a slightly melancholy emotion. It stands as a testament to the fact that you can craft a compelling, high-quality song using only major chords.
Stylistically, it is a pop song with a subtle soul and R&B flavor. The lyrics metaphorically compare the thrill of falling in love to the feelings of someone embarking on their journey into music.
Free sheet music is also available on our YouTube channel!
