Smithereens - As Long As You Are Near Me lyrics

As long as you are near me, I can see things clearly Let me state sincerely, all my cares are gone As long as you are near me I will have the strength to carry on As long as you are near me, I will love you dearly I will speak sincerely, let me testify As long as you are near me I will have the strength to question why You fly a little too high I wonder what happened to you You're like the 4th of July It's just not the same without you, you, you, you I hide my feelings inside The words that I keep in my heart I pretend a little to lie You stop me before I can start As long as you are near me, I can see things clearly Let me state sincerely, all my cares are gone As long as you are near me I will have the strength to carry on As long as you are near me I will have the strength to carry on
