Closer

Don't you know I wish I was closer?

I'd be watching over

And if you're too small to see

I'll lift on my shoulders

If you're feeling low, I'll hold you

I wanna be there in the morning

So I'm working through the night

And I'll be smiling at you, yawning

While you're rubbing those brown eyes

And if you'll ever leave me, call me

I wanna make sure you'll alright

I don't wanna be so far from home

You know you're daddies little soldier

And your mother's handsome knight

Now don't you worry about darkness

Cause you're carrying the light

And those shadows fall when you're around

Don't you know I wish I was closer?

I'd be watching over

And if you're too small to see

I'll lift on my shoulders

If you're feeling low, I'll hold you

I want you close to me like songbird

Want the trees

Cause when your close to me

My worries flee from me

Cause when am with you

My feet don't touch the ground

Now am not a king

But when am with you I feel like

Am wearing a crown

So for you I sing

For you I sing

For you I sing

Don't you know I wish I was closer?

I'd be watching over

And if you're too small to see

I'll lift on my shoulders

If you're feeling low, I'll hold you

Don't you know I wish I was closer?

I'd be watching over

And if you're too small to see

I'll lift on my shoulders

If you're feeling low, I'll hold you

Don't you know

I wish I was closer

I'll be watching over
