You’re Nearer Lyrics by Frederica von Stade

My Funny Valentine

0

[Verse]
Time is a healer
But it cannot heal my heart
My mind says I've forgotten you
And then I feel my heart
The miles lie between us
But your fingers touch my own
You're never far away from me
For you're too much my own
[Chorus]
You're nearer than my head is to my pillow
Nearer than the wind is to the willow
Dearer than the rain is to the earth below
Precious as the sun to the things that grow
You're nearer than the ivy to the wall is
Nearer than the winter to the fall is
Leave me but when you're away you'll know
You're nearer, for I love you so
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
You're nearer than the ivy to the wall is
Nearer than the winter to the fall is
Leave me but when you're away you'll know
You're nearer, for I love you so
