If I Close My Eyes Forever
Ozzy Osbourne · Other Songs - Ozzy Osbourne
Baby, I get so scared inside and I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind or is it fantasy
(ozzy)
Heaven, is in the palm of my hand, and it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do with a childhood tragedy
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same
(Ozzy)
Sometimes it's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems
When you're face to face with me
(Lita)
You're like a dagger
And you stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep would you shelter me
In your warm and dark embrace.
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same
Will you ever take me(Lita)
No, I just can't take the pain(Ozzy)
But would you ever trust me(lita)
No, I'll never feel the same...Ohh.(ozzy)
(lita)
I know I've been so hard on you.
I know Ive told you lies.
If i could have just one more wish.
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes.
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same
(Ozzy)
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
you gotta close your eyes..... for me.
