Love With My Eyes Closed
Michael Bolton · Other Songs - Michael Bolton
That you are out there doing the same
Long for a touch it stands alone
It needs no vision to find its' home
CHORUS:
I've seen beauty in the mountains
I've seen rivers meet the sea
I've seen light on the horizon
Shining down all over me
I've seen beggars turn to rich men
Seen the birth of my own child
I don't wanna find this feeling
Just to let it go
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna feel you inside my soul
Want your warm body next to me
So I can feel what my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Deep in my mind I touch your skin
The risk of emotions in life so thin
And will you love me when I am old
When I'm no longer to strong to hold
CHORUS
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust then I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed, yeah
I don't wanna find this feeling
Just to let it go
I wanna love with my eyes closed, yeah
I want your warm body next to me
So I can feel what my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
Wanna live in the afterglow
Wanna trust then I can believe
Everything that my heart knows
Wanna love with my eyes closed
CHORUS(3x)
