Be closer than my breath, all my days, all my nights
Remove the tears from my eyes and the ache in my heart
Each day is eternity, waiting for your touch
Come to me, my love, I die without you
And return to me for you have gave so much
Who fills me with life in the joy of his presence.
And the reason for every beat of my heart
Who is my love but the soul of my soul
And delights with me in fulfilling them
My love knows the secret pleasures of my soul.
And like the cool water of the brook that refreshes me
My love is like the sun that warms me when I am cold.
