Closer to heaven, I want to be known
All that is simple and true
Come to me, dearest, and feel my embrace
How it gives such good comfort to you
All that I'm asking is be by my side
And you will be mine here tonight
When we were young, we were closer together
We had the same dream, we were closer together
In the time of our life
Then, in the midst of our joining forever
Somebody stole my new heart
Since then I've missed you
Most ever
Most ever
And I long to be by your side
Just for one more moment
Keep of everything
All along
Just to heal this wound
Just to remember that you helped me
I've had to know
All that I'm asking is be by my side
All that I'm asking is be by my side
Is be by my side
And you will be mine
Here tonight
