"That's as Close as I'll Get to Loving You" is a song recorded by American country music artist Aaron Tippin.

It was released in August 1995 as the lead-off single from the album Tool Box.

Paul Jefferson, who co-wrote the song, later recorded a rendition as the B-side to his 1996 debut single "Check Please.

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it an "eloquent and thoughtful expression of unrequited love."

She goes on to say that Gibson's "fine production does justice to the lyric, and Tippin's vocal reflects a broader range and more emotional depth than conveyed on previous outings.
