SO CLOSE (ENCHANTED, 2007)

"Giselle! I've been dreaming of a-" Prince Edward

A charming Disney Film, Enchanted works because of inspired performances especially Amy Adams as Giselle and the film's themes. The ballad So Close is aptly played during the party scene that leads to Giselle's saving her unlikely Prince Charming, Robert Philip (Patrick Dempsey). Wonderfully sung by Jon McLaughlin, the theme earned an Oscar nomination as well as other songs from the film.


SO CLOSE
sung by: Jon Mclaughlin

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

(INSTRUMENTAL)

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close

And still so far
