Julie Rogers (with Johnny Arthey & His Orch.) - 1969 Vic Damone (with Joe Parnello's Orch.) - 1969 Susan Maughan - 1974
If only I could make you need me Into your world you'd call me every day Within the warmth of love You voice would beg me, "Darling, stay"
I'm almost close to you Yes, almost close to you You are just a touch away And yet so far from me
I'm almost close to you All my love goes to you Trying to reach you And make you part of me
In your own way I guess you want me You do your best to please me, yes I know I wish, oh, how I wish Your heart would let you love me so
I'm almost close to you All my love goes to you Can't you feel me reaching out So open up your heart
I'm almost close to you All my love goes to you Can't you feel me reaching out So open up your heart And love me too

***The full title of Julie Rogers recording was "ALMOST CLOSE TO YOU (O MIO ANGELO)", suggesting that it may have been based on an earlier song from Italy.
