View the lyrics
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 your mummy's handsome knight
Now don't you worry about darkness, 'cause 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
'Cause when you're close to me my worries flee from me
'Cause 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
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're too small to see
I'll lift you on my shoulders
If you're feeling low I'll hold you
Oh oh oh, 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
