I have looked all over and cannot find out what this song is

“Turn out the lights and close the door- we need tonight to be alone, Turn out (the world???)”

After that I have no clue what the words are, I know that Natalie Cole sang this song at the Motown review in 1985 but its not her song. Any takers?

Might be Teddy Pendergrast’s Close the Door. Sultry.

Well, I found a site with the lyrics and it’s on a Natalie Cole album. Hope this helps a little.

The title of the song is “A Little Bit of Heaven”. I’m having trouble finding a definitive cite for Natalie Cole’s version NOT beng the original.

The Shocking Blue recorded a song of the same name in the early 70s. Ray Charles recorded another song of the same name (actually a country tune) sometime between 1962 - 1986.
