Lyrics
YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES
From each treasured memory
Or bygone that you can recall
To each anxious moment
Or circumstance you might befall
The view from the window
Is all of the comfort you need
So keep to yourself all that’s sacred and all you believe
Remember this distance between us is only time
Remember those whispers you’re hearing alone, are mine
You can close your eyes and feel
The beating of a heart that’s real
Imagine that you can hear my voice at the top of the stairs
You can close your eyes it’s true
That everything you dream of proves
That nothing ever takes the place of someone who cares
You can close your eyes
From each burning ember
That warms you when cold and alone
To each silent anguish
That haunts you or you’ve ever known
The flame from the candle
Is all of the light that you need
To ward off what shadows surround you
Until they recede
Remember that sooner or later you hopes will rise
Remember that patience rewarded will be your prize
You can close your eyes and feel
The beating of a heart that’s real
Imagine that you can hear my voice at the top of the stairs
You can close your eyes it’s true
That everything you dream of proves
That nothing ever takes the place of someone who cares
You can close your eyes
Remember this distance between us is only time
Remember those whispers you’re hearing alone, are mine
You can close your eyes and feel
The beating of a heart that’s real
Imagine that you can hear my voice at the top of the stairs
You can close your eyes it’s true
That everything you dream of proves
That nothing ever takes the place of someone who cares
You can close your eyes
