John Van Deusen
Be Not Far From Here
[Verse 1]
With simple words I try to tell
You are the water, I’m the well
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
I sense an absence through my bones
Even around others I’m alone
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
[Pre-Chorus]
Because You are the only One for me
The only One I need
The only One
[Chorus]
I'm in need of Your love
Be not far from here
I'm in need of Your touch
Be not far from here
[Verse 2]
It seemed much too dark to save
You are the lantern in my cave
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
I tried hard to numb the pain
Every other turn I took in vain
Mmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
[Pre-Chorus]
Because You are the only One for me
The only One I need
The only One
[Chorus]
I'm in need of Your love
Be not far from here
I'm in need of Your touch
Be not far from here
I'm in need of Your love
Be not far from here
I'm in need of Your touch
Be not far from here
[Outro]
With simple words, I try to tell
You are the water, I'm the well
