[Verse 1]
Lookin' out over the ocean
You can see the horizon
Neat in the sky
And as far as the eye can see
The whole wide world seems so free
And treasure your years
For your years be few
Smile at a face
Comin' towards you
And be glad to be alive
And be happy with living

[Chorus]
Let's be closer together
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Let's be closer together, mmmhmm
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

[Verse 2]
Lookin' out over the ocean
You can see the horizon
Neat in the sky
The horizon seems to be beckonin' our call
Love thy neighbor, it's sayin' to us all
And treasure your years
For your years be few
Smile at a face
Comin' towards you
And be glad to be alive
And be happy with living
[Verse 3]
But people are gonna be people
With the nature of man doin' his thing
Man wasn't meant to live alone
And with every living thing this is shown

[Chorus]
Let's be closer together, mmmhmm
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, mmm
Let's be closer together
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
(Let's be closer) You oughta try it some time
Let's be closer together
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
(Let's be closer) (Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do)

[Verse 4]
But people were gonna be people
With the nature of man doin' his thing
(Let's be closer) Man wasn't meant to live alone
And with every living thing this is shown

[Chorus]
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
(Let's be closer) Let's be closer, let's be closer
You oughta try it some time, think it'll hurt you?
Let's be closer, mmmhmm
(Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do)
(Let's be closer) Let's be closer, closer, closer
Do-do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
