Near to You - Nina Simone

Near to you, near to you

Even though you’re far away

So near to you, always near to you

As near as april is to may

Can’t you feel me there, in my favourite chair

Staring at the fireplace?

Oh so near to you, always near to you

Even now it seems we’re face to face

But it is just if though I was standing before you

Telling you how much I adore you

If I’m really dear to you, near to you

We may be far apart and yet

If I’m in your heart, really in your heart

How near to you can I get

Oh so near to you, always near to you

As near as april is to may

Can’t you feel me there, in my favourite chair

Staring at the fireplace?

Oh so near to you, always near to you

Even now it seems we’re face to face

But it is just if though I was standing before you

Telling you how much I adore you

If I’m really dear to you, near to you

We may be far apart and yet

If I’m in your heart, really in your heart

How near to you can I get?

How near to you can I get?

How near to you, can I get?
