When the day breaks, I want you near
In every moment, your voice I hear
But often times, we're far away
Hey, hey, hey now why can't I stay
Closer to you my dearest one
Would the lord always bless and renew
When the sun goes down, and our world spins around
I wish I was close; I wish I was closer to you
Things can make you drift apart
And time can often break your heart
But there's a thing I'd like to say
Hey, hey, hey now why can't' I stay
Closer to you my dearest one
Would the lord always bless and renew
When the sun goes down and our world spins around
I wish I was close; I wish I was closer
Right now, you're so much further
And I don't mean to be your burden
Won't you let me, did you forget me
Did you, hey won't you let me be
Closer to you my dearest one
Would the lord always bless and renew
When the sun goes down and our world spins around
I wish I was close; I wish I was close; I wish I was closer to you
Closer to you, I wish I was closer to you
Closer to you, I wish I was closer to you
