Don't Close Your Eyes

Don't Close Your Eyes - Keith Whitley

I know you loved him a long time ago

Even now in my arms you still want him I know

But darling this time your memories die

When you hold me tonight don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes let it be me

Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy

Darling just once let yesterday go

And you'll find more love than you'll ever know

Just hold me tight when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes

Maybe I've been a fool holding on all this time

Lying here in your arms knowing he's in your mind

But I keep hoping someday that you'll see the light

Let it be tonight and don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes let it be me

Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy

Darling just once let yesterday go

And you'll find more love than you'll ever know

Just hold me tight when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes

Don't close your eyes let it be me

Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy

Darling just once let yesterday go

And you'll find more love than you'll ever know

Just hold me tight when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes

Just hold me tight when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes
