Don't Close Your Eyes

Don't Close Your Eyes - John McNicholl

I know you loved him a long time ago

Even now in my arms you still want him I know

But darling this time let 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

You'll find more love than you've ever known

Just hold me tight when you love me tonight

Don't close your eyes

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

Lyin' here in your arms knowing he's on your mind

But I keep hoping some day that you'll see the light

Let it be me tonight but 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

You'll find more love than you've ever known

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

You'll find more love than you've ever known

Just hold me tight when you love me tonight

And don't close your eyes

Just hold me tight

Don't close your eyes
