Lyrics
So Near So Far
I gather stars this summer’s night as I dream of you
My love
I watch the night birds fly away to another day
My love
So near, so far
You are forever in my heart
Until you return someday
I feel your body next to mine, it’s silent touch
My love
With gentle words I will call your name remember me
My love
So near, so far
You are forever in my heart
Until you return someday
I watch the dawn return again for you are near
My love
I fell the magic deep in my soul, hurry home
My love
So near, so far
You are forever in my heart
Until you return someday
So near, so far
You are forever in my heart
Until you return someday
Fredrick Brooks (SOCAN)
