Closer

As close as the sea is to the seashore
 The tide still rises twice a day
 That's just the ocean's way of getting
 Closer, closer
 As close as today is to tomorrow
 At midnight they can finally touch
 'Cause every minute brings them
 That much closer, closer
 So on this silent night
 I call your name
 And suddenly all time and space between us disappears
 I see your face in firelight
 I hold you close in memory
 And even though I know you're gone
 I know you're here
 As close as the glow is to the ember
 You've always been a part of me
 Now living in my heart
 You're even closer, closer
 ♪
 I see your face in firelight
 I hold you close in memory
 And even though I know you're gone
 I know you're here
 As sure as there's snowfall in December
 Your love lives on in everything
 Summer, winter, fall or spring
 Every thought of you will bring us closer
 Closer
 The distance may be large or small
 Someday I pray that we may all be
 Closer
 Closer
