Closer

Don't you know I wish I was closer

I'll be watching over

And if you're too small to see

I'll lift you on my shoulders

If you're feeling low I'll hold ya

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 ever need me call me

I wanna make sure you're alright

I don't wanna be so far from home

You know you're daddy's 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'll be watching over

And if you're too small to see

I'll lift you on my shoulders

If you're feeling low I'll hold ya

I want you close to me like songbirds want the trees

'Cause when you're close to me my worries flee from me

'Cause when I'm with you my feet don't touch the ground

Now I'm not a king

But when I'm with you I feel like I'm wearing a crown

For you I sing for you I sing for you I sing

Don't you know I wish I was closer

I'll be watching over

And if you're too small to see

I'll lift you on my shoulders

If you're feeling low I'll hold ya

Oh don't you know I wish I was closer

I'll be watching over

And if you're too small to see

I'll lift you on my shoulders

If you're feeling low I'll hold ya

Don't you know I wish I was closer

I'll be watching over
