Artist picture
An adult contemporary band, with influences derived from classic and progressive rock, pop, jazz, and even classical.
"Intermezzo" is what I call "my band" (really just me, some friends who can sing -- because I sure can't -- and some MIDI equipment). It is my vehicle for demonstrating my material. My material is probably best described as yacht rock. I am pleased to announce that I've created a DIstroKid account! You can view my HyperFollow here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/intermezzo1/intermezzo Also, through my DistroKid account, my music is now also available on the following (among others): iTunes/Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/intermezzo/1582282477 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/24Smq4apfS2XM9zVS6qRZB Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09D9CTHFH

Lyrics
ONE STEP CLOSER Words and music by Ray Kim Verse 1: Girl, let me take a look at you... I can't believe I've got you by my side... I'm wondering what I've been doing wrong all this time, And what am I suddenly doing right...? Girl, let me hold you in my arms... I don't ever want to let you go... I haven't known this feeling for so long, A feeling that I lost so long ago... Chorus: Whoever you are, wherever you may be, I know you will be there waiting for me... 'Cause everything I try and everything I do Brings me one step closer to you... Verse 2: Now, as I gaze into your eyes, I can see the reflection of my soul... I'm looking at a mirror of my life, A vision of a past that time stole... Now that you've opened up my heart, You've shown me a light I never knew, And for the rest of my life, I'll always carry with me The things that I have learned from you... Chorus: Whoever you are, wherever you may be, I know you will be there waiting for me... 'Cause everything I try and everything I do Brings me one step closer to you... Bridge: So many times, I've had to let go and move on... I've been hurt too many times before to love on the run... I've been searching for someone to fill this empty space in my life... Are you the one...? (instrumental ad lib) Chorus: Whoever you are, wherever you may be, I know you will be there waiting for me... 'Cause everything I try and everything I do Brings me one step closer... Brings me one step closer to you... Copyright 1992, Ray Kim
