Youre nearer than my head is to my pillow
Nearer than the wind is to the willow
Dearer than the rain is to the Earth below
Precious as the sun to the things that grow
Youre nearer than the ivy to the wall is
Nearer than the winter to the fall is
Leave me but when youre away, youll know
Youre nearer for I love you so
Leave me but when youre away, youll know
Youre nearer for I love you so
