Closer

[Chorus] 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' [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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' [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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' [Outro] Don't you know I wish I was closer I'll be watching over
