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 While you're rubbing those brown eyes
And if you ever need me, call me I wanna make sure you're alright
I don't wanna be so far from home
You know your daddy's little soldier And your mother's handsome knight
Now don't you worry about dark days Cause you're carrying a 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 sunshine
Don't you know, I wish I was closer I'll lift you on my shoulders
And if you're feeling low, I'll hold you I wanna make sure you're alright
Cause when I'm with you 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


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, don't you know
I wish I was closer For you I sing
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
I'll be watching over
