Jimmy Jam - Close My Eyes lyrics

I live my days with the nights that we spent All the love we shared I put my heart on the side for a while Knowing you're not there I tried to carry on To face the fact you're gone But I need you So I close my eyes Chorus: I close my eyes And I dream about you I close my eyes I can almost feel you in my arms again Morning remind me of showers and talks In the soft sunlight Evenings of pa**ion and cries of joy Hold your memory tight You've been away so long I sing so many songs about you I just close my eyes Chorus (Repeat) (Break/Hook) When I close my eyes I'm a kid again I can think about the time we became just friends Playing in the park didn't have a care Then you smiled at me and I knew right there I would hold your hand, it would be the start Of a promise that no other lover'd steal my heart Now the pain of losing you I just can't erase But when I close my eyes it's a better place No one really sees You watching over me And I hope you feel me watching over you And when you go to sleep I pray the Lord to keep You in my dreams When I close my eyes Chorus (Repeat)
