I'll Close My Eyes

Heaven sends

A song through its doors

Just as if it seems to know

I'm exclusively yours

Knowing this

I feel but one way

You will understand too

In these words that I say

I'll close my eyes

To everyone but you

And when I do

I'll see you standing there

I'll lock my heart

To any other caress

I'll never say yes

To a new love affair

Then I'll close my eyes

To everything that's gay

If you are not there

Oh to share each lovely day

And through the years

In those moments

When we're far apart

Don't you know I'll close my eyes

And I'll see you with my heart

I'll Close My Eyes - Dinah Washington
