CLOSE MY EYES

-------------



(Gloria Estefan)





If I could just close my eyes

See just what I wanted to see.

It would be much easier to live this life,

Thinking that it never really comes down

to me.



Sometimes I wanna close my eyes.

So I can't see time while it's slipping away.

We're all walking a very fine line,

Until reality is somehow thrown in our face.



Bury it deep and maybe you won't feel

the pain.

But you can't let it go.

Down the line it will be back again.



If we could all close our eyes

To all the things we know that are wrong

We could live selfishly protected lives

Not even thinking about what we could

have done.



Say it's not there and maybe it will go away

But the truth is it won't

Down the line it will be back again.



And rather than examine it

I think I better handle it

What good is it to close my eyes

Or tell myself another lie

Gotta get along somehow and sometimes

it's easier.



Sometimes I have to close my eyes

And let you think you can make a fool out

of me.

But I set myself up each time

By trusting you so openly.



Bu tthat's the way I wanna be, that's the way

I wanna be...
