Just Close Your Eyes

Just Close Your Eyes

Baby, I can't be with you today
But if you close your eyes and think;
I'll be beside you at everyplace you look
Each and every time you blink.

I'll be with you in the bedroom
Waiting quietly on your bed;
Just close your eyes and think of me,
And relive those memories that are painted in
your head.

I'll stand by you in the bathroom,
An unlikely place to meet;
I'll smile at you so playfully
As I let you brush your teeth.

I'll be your light in the darkness,
Shining steady through and through;
You only have to watch it glow
To know that I'm in love with you.

I'll be the music that you listen to,
I'll be there in every song;
I'll laugh with you and sing to you,
And comfort you when your day's gone wrong.

I'll be the wind that ruffles your hair,
I'll be that warm embrace;
I'll be the hand on your shoulder,
I'll be the touch on your tender face.

I'll be the clock gently ticking,
Reminding you of the times;
We've shut the rest of the world outside
We're in our own world - yours and mine.

Though you may not see me physically
As you live your life today;
Just close your eyes and think of me
I will not be far away.
