When I Close My Eyes - Shanice

When I close my eyes, when I close, when I close my eyes everything's alright and I drift away (drift away), drift away and I drift away Still I rise, still I rise They try to clip my wings but still I fly They try to bring me down

This is your number, it's all I've got This is me standing in a parking lot This the movie that never got made This is my heart, and it's a grenade Pulling the pin, running for cover In the middle of the night Pick up the phone, I wanna come over Back in the day, walking your way You read my mind, you knew what I'd say Foot in my mouth, cat got my tongue Tripping on clichés and coming undone Holding your hand, running for cover In the middle of the night Tell me your name Can I come over? 'Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat I'd follow your love down a dead end street I would live life blind, I would tell you lies Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes After the dance, after the whiskey After you left, before you kissed me Too much to drink, stumbling home Nobody there when the lights came on Cutting my losses, counting my blessings In the middle of the night Can I come over? Are you undressing? 'Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat I'd follow your love down a dead end street I would live life blind, I would tell you lies Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes Is this the last of the signals you're sending? Are we rolling the credits? Is this the ending? 'Cause you are in my head, you are in the driver's seat I'd follow your love down the darkest street I would live life blind under starless skies Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes Just to hear your voice when I close my eyes You are in my head when I close my eyes This is your number, it's all I've got This is me standing in a parking lot

(Coming up, coming up) I've been hiding, forgotten I almost got away But now it's all coming back And it's time for me to stay I've seen it all pass me by In my hibernating state Now I am here once again And it's time to meet my fate When I'm on my own (Coming up, coming up) You're still there When I'm all alone (Coming up, coming up) Always there When I close my eyes Takes me back to the start Where it all seemed so right Now we've drifted apart When I close my eyes Then we're back at the start Where it all seemed so right How come you're still in my heart This is the perfect moment I'm on to something good There is no fear I will always know I did what I could If something stands in my way Then I will break down the door So please don't stand in my way 'Cause then it's a full-out war When I'm on my own (Coming up, coming up) You're still there When I'm all alone (Coming up, coming up) Always there When I close my eyes Takes me back to the start Where it all seemed so right Now we've drifted apart When I close my eyes Then we're back at the start Where it all seemed so right How come you're still in my heart When I close my eyes You are on your way tonight You come all of the way To my heart I've been hiding, forgotten I almost got away But now it's all coming back And it's time for me to stay I've seen it all pass me by In my hibernating state Now I am here once again And it's time to meet my fate When I close my eyes Then we're back at the start Where it all seemed so right How come you're still in my heart When I close my eyes Takes me back to the start Where it all seemed so right Now we've drifted apart When I close my eyes Then we're back at the start Where it all seemed so right How come you're still in my heart

I know there'l come a day, that all that will remain are only memories Of the people that we knew in this brilliant life and all the sacrifices That came with a price looking back, we turned out alright I want you to know, that i thought of you today I want you to know... before i close my eyes to sleep tonight I think about the passing years we shared together.together I know there'l come a day when all thats said and done the heart Will pave the way for all to come. no need to hesitate. let the Truth be the one that was shared today, when all is said and done I want you to know, that i thought of you today I want you to know... before i close my eyes to sleep tonight I think about the passing years we shared together.together And i will close my eyes to always find the memory of you and i Together... together Hear what i say, goodwill to you all, we'll meet upon the fields And walk together, where ever we may go, where ever we may go Where ever we may go, where ever we may go Before i close my eyes to sleep tonight I think about the passing years we shared together.together And i will close my eyes to always find the memory of you and i Together... oh together Before i close my eyes, before i close my eyes...
