Lyrics
I’m near to you, near to you
Even though I’m far away
I’m near to you, so near to you
As near as April is to May
Can’t you feel me there, in my fav’rite chair
Staring at the fireplace?
Oh, so near to you, always near to you
Even now it seems we’re face to face
For it’s just as though I were standing before you
And telling you how much I adore you
If I’m really dear to you, I’m near to you
We may be far apart and yet
If I’m in your heart, really in your heart
How near to you can I get?
