CLOSE
By Chris McGraw
I see you sitting alone
(you're) wondering how to go on
but I know your heart is torn
battered and beaten, you're badly worn
I don't care what others say
They don't want to think this way
(but I say to you today)
(that you're loved by one)
(you're loved by me)
I have to come to set you free
From your pain and misery
(you can know my peace today)
(it brings release)
far away from where you are
I'm always near, never far
Only a heartbeat away
Your heart grows weaker, day by day
All you wanted was someone who cares
Someone there to dry the tears
But all they do is look and walk away
So ashamed you run another way
I'm only a whisper away
(I'm that still small voice)
Call on me, I'll hear you today
(crying out your name)
I'm the one who loves you
(I want you here)
I'm the one who will never leave
(I want you near)
I'm only a whisper away
I'm the one who wants you to stay
