"Closer" lyrics

As close as the sea is to the seashore
THE Tide still rises twice a day
That's just the ocean's way of getting
Closer, closer
As close as today is to tomorrow
At midnight they can finally touch
'Cause every minute brings them that much closer
Closer
So on this silent night
I call your name
And suddenly all time and space between us disappears
I see your face in firelight
I hold you close in memory
And even though I KNOW you're gone
I know you're here
As close as the glow is to the ember
You've always been a part of me
Now living in my heart you're even closer
Closer
I see your face in firelight
I hold you close in memory
And even though I know you're gone
I know you're here
As sure as there's snowfall in December
Your love lives on in everything
Summer, winter, fall or spring
Every thought of you will bring us closer
The distance may be large or small
Some day I pray that we may all be
Closer
Closer
