How soft a whisper can get   When you're walking through a    crowded space   I hear every word being said   And I remember that everyday   I get a little bit closer to you      How long an hour can take   When you're staring into open   space   When I feel I'm slipping further    away   I remember that everyday   I get a little bit closer to you      These are the days   That I won't get back   I won't hear you cry   Or hear you laugh   And when it's quiet    And i don't hear a thing   I can always hear you breathe      You know there's nowhere else   I've wanted to be   Than be there when you needed me   I'm sorry too   But don't give up on me   And just remember that when you   Were asleep   I got a little bit closer to you
