Can I come near you? Would I be getting in your way? Can I come near you? I don't have very much to say But when I am near you All of my troubles disappear Only to hear you For every song that you sing Is a road, is a wing, is a story And with my heart opened so I forget for a moment to worry When I am near you You know I am changing And what was trouble now is freed You know I am changing There's so much courage that I need To understand it And hold the fire in my hands Now I have landed Learning to build from the start With a trembling heart never sour And then I learn to contain All the hurt and the pain like a flower Hour by hour Like when I am near you And I imagine That I am near you
