Close to You

I want to be close to you,

My king, my child, my joy,

I want to be close to you,

Dariel, I miss you, my boy.

Oh, how beautiful,

Like the feet of a child,

You never know where they go,

Standing, walking, running for miles.

A believer in fresh, creased jeans,

Precious smile and golden skin.

On the ‘phone to check on me,

Blessed to have a son like you.

I want to be close to you,

My king, my child, my joy,

I want to be close to you,

Dariel, I miss you, my boy.

Oh, how beautiful,

Like the feet of a child,

You never know where they go,

Standing, walking, running for miles.

I miss your gentle heart, your generosity,

I thought you might come back to me,

‘Til I heard a voice, it said to me,

He was mine before he was yours.

I want to be close to you,

My king, my child, my joy,

I want to be close to you,

Dariel, I miss you, my boy.

Oh, how beautiful,

Like the feet of a child,

You never know where they go,

Dariel, my boy.

Dariel, I miss you, my boy.
