Patty Loveless - Close by

^GYou've gone so ^D7far away my ^Gdarling Each ^Ctime I think of you I cry

I'll press your picture to my ^Gbosom Then I'll ^D7feel that you're close ^Gby

The years have ^D7passed you've not re^Gturned dear ^CNow they say that you have died

But your soul will live ^Gforever Now I ^D7know you'll be close ^Gby

I saw you ^D7last while you were ^Gleaving The ^Ctears from you I tried to hide

You took me in your arms and ^Gsaid dear Your memo^D7ry I keep close ^Gby

They've buried ^D7you in a lonely ^Ggraveyard And a ^Cspot they've left beside

Now we'll sleep 'til Jesus ^Gcalls us So that ^D7we can be close ^Gby
