I'll Close My Eyes - The Skyliners

I’ll close my eyes

And make believe it’s you

If other lips

Should speak of love divine

The stars were mine

But I reached for the moon

And found all too soon

It was not to be mine

I’ll close my eyes

If you should pass me by

With someone else

Maybe who loves you too

I may be lonely, but

When I see the moon’s blue light

I’ll close my eyes

And make believe it’s you

Heaven sends

A song through its doors

Just as if it seems to know

I’m exclusively yours

Knowing this

I feel but one way

You will understand too

In these words that I say

I’ll close my eyes

To everyone but you

And when I do

I’ll see you standing there

I’ll lock my heart

To any other caress

I’ll never say yes

To a new love affair

Then I’ll close my eyes

To everything that’s gay

If you are not there

Oh, to share each lovely day

And through the years

In those moments

When we’re far apart

Don’t you know I’ll close my eyes

And I’ll see you with my heart
