Close Your Eyes

Michael Bublé · To Be Loved [2013]

Close your eyes,

Let me tell you all the reasons why

I think you're one of a kind.

Here's to you,

The one that always pulls us through

Always do what you gotta do

You're one of a kind, thank god you're mine.



You're an angel dressed in armour.

You're the fear in every fight.

You're my life and my safe harbour,

Where the sun sets every night.

And if my love is blind,

I don't wanna see the light.



It's your beauty that betrays you

Your smile gives you away

Cause you're made of strength and mercy

And my soul is yours to save

I know this much is true,

When my world was dark and blue

I know the only one who rescued me was you



(Chorus)

Close your eyes,

Let me tell you all the reasons why



You're never gonna have to cry

Because you're one of a kind.

Yeah, here's to you,

The one that always pulls us through

You always do what you gotta do, baby

Because you're one of a kind.



When your love pours down on me

I know I'm finally free

So I tell you gratefully,

Every single beat in my heart

Is yours to keep.



(Chorus)

Close your eyes,

Let me tell you all the reasons why, baby

You're never gonna have to cry, baby

Because you're one of a kind.

Yeah, here's to you,

You're the one that always pulls us through

You always do what you gotta do, baby

Because you're one of a kind.



You're the reason why I'm breathing

With a little look my way

You're the reason that I'm feeling

It's finally safe to stay.
