Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes, the children are asleep

The night will surely keep, my Queen

Close your eyes, to tides that run too deep

I know sometimes you weep unseen

While you dream, the treason and the fear

Will all but disappear, subside

Close your eyes, the evening is still and clear

The fight is nowhere near tonight

[Choir] Dream of when you were the brightest star in all of France

Dream of when you were the celebrated young dauphine

[Choir] Mistress of every dance

- The most benign young queen, they'd ever seen

Close your eyes, deny them how you feel

Unlock your chains and heal your heart

Close your eyes, remember love was real

For memories they can't steal or guard

While you sleep, though death may pass you by

He'll never slip inside unseen

Dry your eyes, and hold your head up high

They wouldn't dare defy their Queen

[Choir] When the demons appear

We'll rise and fight

We'll run, we'll hide

Try to sleep, don't cry, just sleep

Don't think, don't be sorry, don't feel sad

I know how worried you are for your son

He'll be just fine

[Choir] Just fine

Dry your eyes, they'll take you to the king

You'll hear the churchbells ring, my Queen

Close your eyes, and let your heart take wing

You'll hear the angels sing, be free

[Choir] Close your eyes ....
