Come Close

Come close, my friend, and see what waits
When hearts can meet, when love can grow,
When twined together are our fates.

Come close, my friend, and surely know
That saddest soul can peaceful rest
When hearts can meet, when love can grow.

Come close, my friend, and ease this test.
Though faith is short, I must believe
That saddest soul can peaceful rest.

Come close, my friend, and never leave.
I long to have you by my side.
Though faith is short, I must believe.

Come close, my friend, and here abide.
When sorrow cuts me like a knife,
I long to have you by my side.

When all is trouble, toil, and strife,
Come close, my friend, and see what waits,
What joy can still be found in life,
When twined together are our fates.
