closer

Jp Cooper

Don t you know I wish I was closer
I d 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
While you re rubbing those brown eyes
And if you ll 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 those shadows fall when you re around

Don t you know I wish I was closer
I d be watching over
And if you re too small to see
I ll lift on my shoulders
If you re feeling low, I ll hold you

I want you close to me like some birds want the trees
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 d be watching over
And if you re too small to see
I ll lift on my shoulders
If you re feeling low, I ll hold you

Ooh, don t you know I wish I was closer
I d be watching over
And if you re too small to see
I ll lift on my shoulders
If you re feeling low, I ll hold you

Don t you know I wish I was closer
I d be watching over
