CLOSE MY EYES FOREVER song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

love is a funny thing
love isn't any thing
love is the last instinct
love is more than you think

yesterday was a day
I saw you walk away
I saw you shut the door
you won't come back no more

we were a state of grace
I can still see your face
ecstasy just a taste
then it was all erased

tomorrow so very far
I won't know where you are
you were my lucky star
but now you're gone

If
I close
my eyes
forever
then
I'll know
what now
is never
and
if you
think of
me ever
re-
member
you were
my joy

what I have in my heart
cuts me like it was sharp
but I knew from the start
I wasn't very smart

to give my little soul
to give up all control
to give up my whole world
to such a foolish girl

maybe you're innocent
maybe that's what you meant
maybe an accident
or you used all you spent

the future becomes the past
the first now becomes the last
it all went on by so fast
and left with the dawn

If
I close
my eyes
forever
then
I'll know
what now
is never
and
if you
think of
me ever
re-
member
you were
my joy

still you're stuck in my mind
and the pain will not ever get better
until I have no choice to find
that I have to close my eyes forever

Suicide in a song. Still, it might be a hit with all that feeling.
