Time is a healer
   But it cannot heal my heart,
   My mind says I've forgotten you
   And then I feel my heart.
   Though the miles lie between us
   But your fingers touch my own,
   You're never far away from me
   For you're too much my own.
  
   You're nearer
   Than my head is to my pillow,
   Nearer than the wind is to the willow.
   Dearer than the rain is
   To the earth below,
   Precious as the sun to
   The things that grow.
   You're nearer than the ivy to the wall is,
   Nearer than the Winter to the Fall is,
   Leave me
   But when you're away
   You'll know you're nearer
   For I love you so.
