Close Your Eyes

Doris Day · Other Songs - Doris Day

Music play

something dreamy for dancing

while we're here romancing

It's love's holiday

And Love will be our guide



Close your Eyes

When you open them dear

I'll be right hear by your side

So



Close your eyes

rest your head on my shoulder and sleep

Close your eyes

And I will close mine



Close your eyes

Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep

Close your eyes

This is divine



Music play

something dreamy for dancing

while were here romancing

It's love's holiday

And Love will be our guide



Close your Eyes

When you open them dear

I'll be near by your side

So won't you close your eyes

Close Your Eyes

Doris Day's 'Close Your Eyes' stands as a quintessential example of her mastery over the romantic pop and easy listening genres of the mid-20th century. Recorded with her signature warm, breathy vocal style, the track exemplifies the emotional intimacy characteristic of her discography, particularly within the era of her greatest commercial success. As a staple of her repertoire alongside hits like 'Sentimental Journey' and 'Que Sera, Sera', the song captures the delicate balance between vulnerability and polished production that defined her career. It remains a timeless recording that reflects the soft, melodic sensibilities of American pop music from the 1950s and 1960s, showcasing Day's ability to convey deep feeling through subtle phrasing and a gentle arrangement.
