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 as you're 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 a 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, haunt the tree
'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
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 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
