don't know what's wrong with me.
Can't you see I'm not the guy
that I pretend to be.
Though I know I will be lonely
but our love will never die
I close my eyes, everyday, I close my eyes.
Ah......
The more I try the more I fail,
I'd like to run away.
But if I try you pass me by,
I know that I can't stay.
Though I know I will be lonely
but our love will never die
I close my eyes, everyday, I close my eyes.
Ah...
Though I know I will be lonely
but our love will never die
I close my eyes, everyday, I close my eyes
I close my eyes. I close my eyes. I close my eyes (fade out)
About I Close My Eyes
"I Close My Eyes" is a standout track from the Bee Gees' 1976 album *Main Course*, marking a pivotal shift in their sound toward a more mature, soulful R&B style. Following the massive success of their disco era, the song features the brothers' signature harmonies and a lush, orchestral arrangement that blends funk with pop sensibilities. It serves as a testament to their ability to evolve beyond dance-oriented hits, showcasing their songwriting prowess and vocal chemistry in a slower, more intimate setting. The recording highlights their transition into the late 70s, where they began incorporating jazz and soul influences into their catalog, influencing a generation of artists who sought to move past the disco label. This track remains a cherished example of their discography, demonstrating their versatility and enduring appeal as one of the most significant pop groups of the era.
