CLOSER - Lyrics

This song is fun. Well, at least it is if you're reborn. It's a good reminder that the old man is someday, if at all, just going to be a memory. Sometimes, even now, I forget that my life is short. When that happens I may inadvertently break into a rendition of "my wife is short." Yes she is .... and tremendously cute too! Amazing considering she died first. Actually, after seeing how beautiful she became, I was glad I went after someone that had already died. My fondest wish for everyone though is to die now and be reborn, rather than to die later without that chance to really be alive. May God draw you into a life freely given and may you thumb your nose at the devil instead of Him.

               CLOSER  

Verse 1:

Life is short or so it would seem

Yes, people tell me all of the time

The days slip away and the seasons will pass

And the years parade across my mind

Yeah time doesn’t stand still for anyone I know

We’re still wondering where it did go

And life with a slap says as a matter of fact

You’re just getting old 

Chorus:

I’m not getting older

I’m just getting closer

I’m not getting older

I’m just getting closer 

Verse 2:

Now I’m not saying that my time should stand still

Or I can stop a tick of the clock

But life can be anew with a simple change of view

Not of me, not of you, but the One who made it true

Just had to die to be made alive

Reborn and taking on a new form

Of the One who conquered death and rose from the grave

Of the One who’s come to take me away 

Repeat Chorus: 

Bridge:

My life is short

                        No no no no no

Your life is short

                        Ya yeah yeah yeah yeah

My life is short

                        No no no no no

My life is too too too short 

Chorus:
