Come a little closer 
you're my confidant 
When the sun fades into the night 
and my thoughts drift across the sky 
there's a feeling i'm holding tight 
and i'm thankful that you're just a prayer away 
i've been longing for the one who shares my heart 
Come a little closer 
have i told you 
you're my confidant 
all the things that i dream 
resting on your shoulder 
is what i do 
you're my confidant 
you're the one who comforts me 
It's so hard in this shallow age 
to find a more faithful friend 
when i call on your sweet name 
you're right beside me and you stay until the end 
Come a little closer 
have i told you 
you're my confidant 
resting on your shoulder 
is what i do 
you're my confidant 
and i know you are here 
Oh be careful with all my secrets 
i tell you my heart whatever i feel 
with you i know i can be real 
you know what i'l say before i start 
you're the keeper of my heart 
Yes you are 
you're my confidant 
i know you are listening 
i see your face and have no fear 
inside my heart i'll let you see 
you can keep my secret
