You say forever is such a lost and lonely word
found only in your dreams, spoken never heard
you've locked your heart away and you've thrown away the key
the past has let you down and you're scared to set it free
but there's someone watching you
He holds a love that's forever true
so don't you turn and run away
He's getting closer to you, closer day by day
The one's that you have cared for have always let you down
You give them all your trust but they never can be found
and how you want a friend who is always there for you
but with all the hurt you've seen you can't believe it's true
but there's someone watching you
he holds a love that's forever true
so don't you turn and run away
he's getting closer to you, closer day by day
closer day by day, closer day by day
He's getting closer to you; all you have to do is pray.

You say forever is such a lost and lonely word
found only in your dreams, spoken never heard
you've locked your heart away and you've thrown away the key
but if you open up to Jesus this is what you'll see
God is always watching you
He holds a love that's forever true
so get down on your knees and pray
He's getting closer to you all you have to do is pray
God is always watching you
He holds a love that's forever true

So don't you turn and run away
He's getting closer to you, closer day by day.
