You’re Nearer Lyrics by Joni James

Let There Be Love

1953

You're nearer
Than my head is to my pillow
You're nearer
Than the wind is to the willow, dear
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
You're nearer
Than the ivy to the wall is
Nearеr than the winter to the fall is
Lеave me, but when you're away, you'll know
You´re nearer for I love you so
