Katie Melua - The Closest Thing to Crazy (live at Stuttgart)

Shortly ago I posted a beautiful song by Celtic Woman and in the interest of maintaining peaceful and engaging music, I bring you an awesome singer by the name of Ms. Katie Melua.

Ketevan "Katie" Melua is a Georgian and British singer and songwriter. Melua was born in Kutaisi and raised in Belfast and London. Under the management of composer Mike Batt, she was signed to the small Dramatico record label.

The song I bring you is titled "The Closest Thing to Crazy" is a song about a young girl's love for her boyfriend... I think you will enjoy it...

Here are the Lyrics:

How can I think I'm standing strong?
Yet feel the air beneath my feet
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?

How can you let me watch you sleep?
Then break my dreams the way you do
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

This is the closest thing to crazy
I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy
I have ever known
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know
That there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you

How can you make me fall apart?
Then break my fall with loving lies
It's so easy to break a heart
It's so easy to close your eyes

How can you treat me like a child?
Yet like a child I yearn for you
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

This is the closest thing to crazy
I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy
I have ever known
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know
That there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you

And being close to you
And being close to you

Writer, Mike Batt
