[Verse 1: Van Morrison, Van Morrison & Curtis Stigers]
No use feelin' sad
No use stayin' mad
Better when you're glad
You can be there in a heartbeat
When it's close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz

[Verse 2: Curtis Stigers, Van Morrison & Curtis Stigers, Van Morrison]
Be glad with what you have
Even if it's half
Empty in the glass
If there's room to move your elbows
Then it's close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz

[Bridge: Van Morrison & Curtis Stigers]
When you're not in a hurry (No, no)
Then things may turn around (Go round and round and round)
Never give in to worry
Try looking up, not down, don't frown

[Verse 3: Van Morrison & Curtis Stigers, Van Morrison, Curtis Stigers]
Close enough for jazz
Is it Persil, is it Daz? (I don't know)
Well, it doesn't really matter
When it's better on the inside
And it's close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
[Instrumental Break]
Yeah

[Bridge: Curtis Stigers, Van Morrison, Both]
When you're not in a hurry
Then things may turn around
Never give in to worry
Start looking up, not down, don't frown

[Verse 3: Van Morrison & Curtis Stigers, Van Morrison]
Close enough for jazz
Is it Persil, is it Daz?
Well, it doesn't really matter
When it's better on the inside
And it's close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
Close enough for jazz
