You're nearer than my head is to the pillow
|
Nearer than the wind is to the willow
|
Dearer than the rain is to the earth below
|
Precious as the sun to the things that grow
|
|
You're nearer than the ivy to the wall is
|
Nearer than the winter to the fall is
|
Leave me, but when you're away, you'll know you're nearer
|
For I love you so
|

You're Nearer
