Close My Eyes Forever

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy? Heaven is in the palm of my hand and it's waiting here for you What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy? If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged? If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same? Sometimes it's hard to hold on, so hard to hold on to my dreams It isn't always what it seems when you're face to face with me You're like a dagger, and stick me in the heart And taste the blood from my blade And when we sleep, would you shelter me in your warm and darkend grave? If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged? If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same? Will you ever take me? No I just can't take the pain Would you ever trust me? No I'll never feel the same I know I've been so hard on you; I know I've told you lies If I could have just one more wish, I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain unchanged? If I close my eyes forever, will it all remain the same?
