Close to Your Heart

[Verse 1]
It's two a.m., the city's asleep
I rest my hand upon your shoulder
Your breath is calm, so soft, so deep
Like holding on to what makes us stronger
[Verse 2]
We said nothing, we had no need
In the softness of this evening
Your fingers found mine, gently freed
There was all your beauty, silently gleaming
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know, I've known it all along
I let you in, close to my heart
That I found what I searched for so long
Like a light, like a brand new start
[Chorus]
Close to your heart, I find my place
In your arms, I breathe again
Love, you are the only trace
That my heart still holds within
Close to your heart, I'm finally home
No more reason left to fear
Love, you're the truth I've always known
The only joy that feels this near
[Verse 3]
Morning will come so soft, so slow
I'll stay right here, patiently
Watching over your peaceful glow
For one invisible moment, quietly
[Bridge — spoken/sung softly]
They say that love can make you blind
I say it makes you wise
Close to you, your neck, entwined
I'm discovering new skies
[Final Chorus]
Close to your heart, I find my place
In your arms, I breathe again
Love, you are the only trace
That my heart still holds within
