Close Your Eyes

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



Close your eyes.

I know the time we had was short. I still love you, and you can stay as long as you like. That would be all right. So hold on to me tight, and you can close your eyes. Then I will never leave your side. The path you must take is wide, so take my hand and help me understand. The fun times we had—no one can take that away. I won't let them anyway. I won't cry, so when you're ready, I won't mourn after you're gone. I don't know anymore love songs, and I can't sing the blues anymore. So you can close your eyes, and I'll be there forever by your side till the stars fall from the sky. I will never say goodbye.
