You say forever is such a lost and lonely word

found only in your dreams, spoken never heard

you’ve locked your heart away and you’ve thrown away the key

the past has let you down and you’re scared to set it free

but there’s someone watching you

He holds a love that’s forever true

so don’t you turn and run away

He’s getting closer to you, closer day by day

The one’s that you have cared for have always let you down

You give them all your trust but they never can be found

and how you want a friend who is always there for you

but with all the hurt you’ve seen you can’t believe it’s true

but there’s someone watching you

he holds a love that’s forever true

so don’t you turn and run away

he’s getting closer to you, closer day by day

closer day by day, closer day by day

He’s getting closer to you; all you have to do is pray.

You say forever is such a lost and lonely word

found only in your dreams, spoken never heard

you’ve locked your heart away and you’ve thrown away the key

but if you open up to Jesus this is what you’ll see

God is always watching you

He holds a love that’s forever true

so get down on your knees and pray

He’s getting closer to you all you have to do is pray

God is always watching you

He holds a love that’s forever true

So don’t you turn and run away

He’s getting closer to you, closer day by day.
