[Verse 1]
There's no stronger wind than the one that blows down a lonesome railroad line
No sweeter sight than lookin' back on a town you left behind
And there's nothin' that's as real as a love that's in my mind

[Chorus]
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while

[Verse 2]
Well there's a'lots of things along the road that I would surely like to see
I'd like to lean into the wind and then tell myself I'm free
But your softest whispеr is louder than the highway's call to me

[Chorus]
Closе your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while

[Verse 3]
All the rivers and the mountains and the valleys don't compare
To your blue-lit dancin' eyes and your yellow shinin' hair
Well I could never hit the open road and just leave you lyin' there
[Chorus]
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
So lay your head down easy, love, and close your cryin' eyes
I'll be there beside you when the sun is on the rise
And I will wait as long as the cuckoo sounds and the lonesome blue jay cries

[Chorus]
Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while

Close your eyes
I'll be here in the morning
Close your eyes
I'll be here for a while
