LyricsCLOSE YOUR EYES(Originally written in 1991), ©2025 - Final Revised Version [Verse 1 A] The sky was bending under weightless light You spoke my name, then slipped into the night A breath that left before I even knew That what was real was never truly true [Verse 1 B] There's a silence buried in the sound Where pieces of you still hang around The walls still echo what we tried to say But every word just fades away [Chorus] Close your eyes and hear me still In the quiet where the heart won't heal In the echo of a word unsaid I'm the breath beside your bed We were stars that burned too high Close your eyes... and say goodbye [Verse 2 A] I trace the dust along your empty chair The room still holds your shadow in the air Your voice is hiding in the hallway light I almost reach, but you are out of sight [Verse 2 B] We were pages lost without a pen A love that burned and back again No map to lead us through the storm No fire left to keep us warm [Chorus] Close your eyes and hear me still In the quiet where the heart won't heal In the echo of a word unsaid I'm the breath beside your bed We were stars that burned too high Close your eyes... and say goodbye [Bridge] (Solo cello + piano) If time could turn, I'd stay and fight But dreams dissolve in morning light So hold me once inside your mind Before the dark leaves us behind [Final Chorus] Close your eyes and let me be A whispered note in your melody Don't cry for what we couldn't be We were never ours to keep Like a flame that kissed the sky Close your eyes... and let me fly |
