Lyrics
CLOSE THEIR EYES
(c) 2005 Tilley
You're so strong...
So strong, she said to me tonight...
She was so wrong...
So wrong, she could never get me right...
How can they ever see...
What I could never be...
Don't worry about him, he doesn't need it...
And if he does, I've never seen it...
They just close their eyes...
They just close their eyes...
You're so right...
So right, she thought of me tonight..
With such spite...
Such spite, she could never get me right...
But can they never see...
What I will never be...
He's not worth thinking of...
So don't waste your time...
They just close their eyes...
They just close their eyes...
And I feel as if there's not an angel in heaven...
Who would bother to smile down on me tonight...
Tell me what I have to do...
To get attention out of you...
And I feel as if there's not a star in the sky...
That would bother to shine down on me tonight...
Tell me what I have to say...
To make you look my way...
They just close their eyes...
They just close their eyes...
