I'll Close My Eyes

Dinah Washington · 8 Classic Albums [2011]

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
