As close as the sea is to the seashore   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 fin'lly 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 disappears   I see your face in firelight   I hold you close in memory   And even though 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 heeeere....   As sure as there's snowfall in December   Your love lives in everything   Summer Winter Fall or Spring   Every thought of you will bring us closer   The distance may be large or small   Someday I pray that we may all be   Closer...   Closer.
