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 into your name
When you're robbing those brown eyes
And if you'll 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 little soldier
And your mother's handsome knight
No, don't you worry about darkness
'Cause you're carrying the 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 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
