You're Nearer (Original Mix)

You're Nearer - ANNIE ROSS/Gerry Mullingan

Time is a healer

But it cannot heal my heart

My mind says I've forgotten you

But then I feel my heart

The miles lie between us

But your fingers touch my own

You're never far away from me

Cause you're too much my own

You're nearer

Than my head is to my pillow

Nearer than the wind is to the willow

Nearer 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

I'll know you're nearer

For I love you so

Leave me

But when you're away

I'll know you're nearer

Cause i love you

Yes i love you

For I love you so
