Don’t you know I wish I was closer?
I’d be watching over,
And if you’re too small to see
I’ll lift 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 into your name
When you’re robbing those brown eyes
And if you’ll ever leave me, call me
I wanna make sure you’ll alright
I don’t wanna be so far from home
You know you’re daddy little soldier,
And your mother’s handsome knight
No, don’t you worry about darkness
‘Cause you’re carrying the light
And those falling when you’re around
Don’t you know I wish I was closer?
I’d be watching over,
And if you’re too small to see
I’ll lift on my shoulders
If you’re feeling low, I’ll hold you
