Close my eyes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When I said that ain't my style
I only waited for a while
When it finally came along
I close my eyes and it was gone
So feel free go steal it round
A revolution ain't my charm
And if I sing your happy song
Please don't tell me I am wrong
Close my eyes and I am gone (close my eyes and I am gone)
Close my eyes and I am gone (close my eyes)
And if I stare at the sun I find there's only one
Close my eyes and I am gone
So when I said that it was you
You know I meant it from the heart
Such a shame that when we're through
You'll say it didn't even start
So I says I like your smile
I only saw it for a while
And though you swore it would stay long
I closed my eyes and it was gone
Close my eyes and I am gone (close my eyes and I am gone)
Close my eyes and I am gone (close my eyes)
And if I stare at the sun I find there's only one
Close my eyes and I am gone
So on the day when I collide
Is on the fateful day I ride
Pray I somehow slip away
And slip into another day
Close my eyes and I am gone (close my eyes and I am gone)
Close my eyes and I am gone (close my eyes)
And if I stare at the sun I find there's only one
Close my eyes and I am gone
Well if I stare at the sun I find there's only one
Close my eyes and I am gone
And if I stare at the sun I find I just begun
Close my eyes and I am gone
