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 mummy's handsome knight.
Now don't you worry about darness coz 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.
Coz when you're close to me my worries flee from me.
Coz 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.
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.
