[Verse]
Time is a healer
But it cannot heal my heart
My mind says I've forgotten you
And then I feel my heart
Though the miles lie between us
But your fingers touch my own
You're never far away from me
For you're too much my own
You're nearer
Than my head is to my pillow
Nearer than the wind is to the willow
Dearer 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

[Outro]
Leave me
But when you're away
You'll know you're nearer
For I love you so
