Closer To Spring
i sigh each night i hear you crying
afraid of words that might be said
and i wish that you could trade them in for sweet dreams
not turn them into nightmares in your head
yes you’re too young to have eyes so old
to be as lonely as winter is cold
and you know i won’t give up on the hope you feel you’ve lost
don’t give in to the cold keep listening
and child this is my prayer
and yes this is what i sing
every day of your winter is one step closer
one step closer to spring
i wish you could walk the streets beside me
and realize the trees so bare bear leaves
i wish you could run like you know the sun ain’t hiding
it’s just waiting for the chance to warm your skin
yes you’re too young to have eyes so cold
you can’t see that every winter grows old
and every heart has its season
its reason let it be
ride the shoulders of the sweet wind coming in
and child this is my prayer
and yes this is what i sing
every day of your winter is one step closer
one step closer to spring
yes this is your father’s prayer
if i could bring you closer to anywhere
it would be one step closer to spring
one step closer to spring
talk to me you must believe
talk to me the pain will leave
talk to me you must believe
that we’re one step closer to spring
i sigh each night i hear you crying
and place these words inside your head
every day of your winter is one step closer
one step closer to spring
