Let Me Be Close

The terminal illness of my mother triggered thoughts that I wanted to convey to her to offer comfort. I realized after I'd written the lyrics that any love relationship could get focus by centering on the most basic communications.

Lyrics

Let Me Be Close to You

Let me be close to you;
Share your dreams with me.
Tell me your fears;
What brings tears to your eyes?

Let me be close to you;
Please don?t turn away.
In the lonely night
If you want me to, I?ll stay.

Chorus:
Take my hand, we?ll find our way.
Hand in hand, love won?t ever fade,
Together, we?ll be closer ? together.

Let me be close to you.
Let me keep you company.
All I want is for you to be here with me.

Let me be close to you;
Let me live in your heart;
Wherever you go, you won?t be alone,
You?ll have two hearts beating as one.

Chorus
