Dar Williams So Close To My Heart Lyrics

So Close To My Heart Lyrics

I never had a friend as close as you

So close to my heart

I dropped everything when you came through

So close to my heart



And I put my pens and my paint box aside

Oh, so close to my heart

And the river that ran down the rock face dried

Oh, so close to my heart



When you were close to my heart



It was an honor that you ran so free

So close to my heart

I thought I'd lost something forever, silly me

So close to my heart



But the place you hid in as bare as it seems

Oh, so close to my heart

It held my will and its infinite dreams

Oh, so close to my heart



When you were close to my heart



So now you're gone and now we'll both find our ways

So close to our hearts

By the forge that leaves a stamp on each day

So close to our hearts



And we'll long to make great things in our lives

Oh, so close to our hearts

And we'll wonder if what we make survives

Oh, to the beat of the heart



It's the work of the heart

But you were close to my heart
