I want to be close to you

I want to be close to you

I want to be close to you
In my spirit and my soul,
And my body, and in every way

I want to be with you
I want to wake up with you
Every day

I want to share this sweet life with you
I want to greet the dawn with you, and pray
I see love in you, I see truth in you,
I see God in you,
I want to give thanks with you
Every day

I trust those who’s hearts are pure
And I trust those with the power to endure
I trust in spirit and in every sunrise
And I trust in you
I can see it in your eyes

I want to breathe you in
And I want to breathe you out
I want to see what you see
When you’re walkin’ all about
I want to do my part to take things higher
To free you up is my greatest desire

I want to be close to you
I want to grow a garden of delight
Beneath the sun
I want to pick the fruit with you
And I want to gaze at the moon with you
When the day is done

I want to make a fire with you
And burn the sweet wood
I want to cook and clean with you
And know that we do good

I want to give you time
And I want to give you space
I know that every moment with you
Is a gift of grace

You give me sanctuary
So I feel back where I belong
You heal the child in me
With your river song

I want to climb the hill with you
When the bells have rung
I want to grow old with you
And stay forever young
