I want to 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 want to make sure you're all right I don't want to be so far from home Don't you know I wish I was closer I'll be watching over And if you do small disease I'll lift you on my shoulders If you're feeling low I'll hold you Oh don't you know I wish I was closer I'll be watching over And if you do small disease I'll lift you on my shoulders If you're feeling low I'll hold you Oh don't you know I wish I was closer I'll be watching over I want you close to me like sunbirds on the tree 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 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 do small disease I'll lift you on my shoulders If you're feeling low I'll hold you Oh don't you know I wish I was closer I'll be watching over And if you do small disease 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 I'll be watching over Don't you know I wish I was closer I'll be watching over And if you do small disease I'll lift you on my shoulders If you're feeling low I'll hold you
