Lyrics

You're Nearer

You're nearer than my head is to the pillow

Nearer than the wind is to the willow

Dearer than the rain is to the earth below

Precious as the sun to the things that grow

You're nearer than the ivy to the wall is

Nearer than the winter to the fall is

Leave me but when you're away

You'll know you're nearer

For I love you so
