Close Your Eyes
Doris Day · Other Songs - Doris Day
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.
