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 you on my shoulders If you're feeling low, I'll hold you I want you close to me like sun birds on 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 No, I'm not a king but when I'm with you I feel like I'm wearing a crown 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 you 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
