lyrics

"CLOSE TO MY HEART" by David Guilbault

Close to my heart. Far from my sight.
My darling daughter how I miss you tonight.
We broke apart because of the heartbreak
That comes when a family breaks in two.

I miss you dear son, your smile and your laughter.
Your happy life is all that I’m after.
We can’t be together because you were taken
When our family broke in two.

I was lost. You both were torn
In the battles of hate and scorn.
Someday you’ll know just what is true.
No one will ever love you more than I do.

Now I’m alone and you’re far away.
I want to be part of your every day.
You need my wisdom. You need my care.
You need my love and I need to be there.

Now I’m lost. You both are torn
By the battles by hate and scorn.
Someday you’ll know just what is true.
No one will ever love you more than I do.

Close to my heart. Far from my sight.
My darling children how I miss you tonight.
