Closer to heaven, I want to be knownAll that is simple and trueCome to me, dearest, and feel my embraceHow it gives such good comfort to youAll that I'm asking is be by my sideAnd you will be mine here tonightWhen we were young, we were closer togetherWe had the same dream, we were closer togetherIn the time of our lifeThen, in the midst of our joining foreverSomebody stole my new heartSince then I've missed youMost everMost everAnd I long to be by your sideJust for one more momentKeep of everythingAll alongJust to heal this woundJust to remember that you helped meI've had to knowAll that I'm asking is be by my sideAll that I'm asking is be by my sideIs be by my sideAnd you will be mineHere tonight*
