i'll close my eyes

Singer:dinah washington

heaven sends a song through its doors

just as if it seems to know

i'm exclusively yours

knowing this

i feel but one way

you will understand too

in these words that i say

i'll close my eyes to everyone but you

and when i do

i'll see you standing there

i'll lock my heart to any other caress

i'll never say yes to a new love affair

i'll close my eyes to everything that's gay

if you're not there

to share each lovely day

and through the years

those moments

when we're far apart

i'll close my eyes and see you with my heart

i'll close my eyes to everything that's gay

lord

if you are not there

to share each lovely day

and through the years those moments

when we're far apart

i'll close my eyes oh and see you with my heart
