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 you I wanna be there in the morning, so I'm working through the night And I'll be smiling at you yawning, when you're rubbing those brown eyes And if you ever leave 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 mummy's handsome knight Now don't you worry about darkness, 'cause you're carrying the light And no 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 you 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 you're with me, 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 And 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 you Oh oh 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 you Don't you know I wish I was closer? I'll be watching over
