We Close Our Eyes
[Intro]
We close our eyes (Close our eyes)
We close our eyes and dream
And the world has turned around again
Oh
[Verse 1]
When everybody's running in the big race
And havin' a good time, who am I to cast a shadow?
Who am I? I looked death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror and I simply smiled
He told me not to worry, he told me just to take my time
[Chorus]
We close our eyes (Close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (Close our eyes)
That another year has come and gone
We close our eyes (Close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (Close our eyes)
[Verse 2]
And if you come to me and if you touch my hand
I might just slip away, I might just disappear
Who am I? And if you think I'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late, we might start falling
If we don't try too hard, we might start falling in love
[Chorus]
We close our eyes (Close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (Close our eyes)
That another year has come and gone
We close our eyes (Close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (Close our eyes)
[Bridge]
We're on a healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride that can never turn back
And if you love me, and if you really try
We'll make the seconds count and we can close our eyes
[Outro]
We close our eyes (Close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes (Close our eyes)
We close our eyes (Close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (Close our eyes)
