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, 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 mummy's handsome knight.
Now don't you worry about darkness because 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 queen, but when I'm with you I feel like I'm wearing a crown
For you I sing x3
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.
Ooooohhhh 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.
