JP Cooper Closer song lyrics

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 at you yawning, when you're rubbing those brown eyes

And if you ever leave 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 mummy's handsome knight

Now don't you worry about darkness, 'cause you're carrying the 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 want the trees

'Cause when you're close to me my worries flee from me

'Cause when you're with me, 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 oh 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
