Carey Mariah Close My Eyes Lyrics

Close My Eyes Lyrics

I was a wayward child

 With the weight of the world

 That I held deep inside

 Life was a winding road

 And I learned many things

 Little ones shouldn't know

 

 Chorus:

 But I closed my eyes

 Steadied my feet on the ground

 Raised my head to the sky

 And though time's rolled by

 Still I feel like that child

 As I look at the moon

 Maybe I grew up

 A little too soon

 

 Funny how one can learn

 To grow numb to the madness

 And block it away

 I left the worst unsaid

 Let it all dissipate

 And I try to forget

 

 Chorus

 

 Nearing the edge

 Oblivious I almost

 Fell right over

 A part of me

 Will never be quite able

 To feel stable

 That woman-child falling inside

 Was on the verge of fading

 Thankfully I

 Woke up in time

 

 Guardian angel I

 Sail away on an ocean

 With you by my side

 Orange clouds roll by

 They burn into your image

 And you're still alive

 (You're always alive)

 

 Chorus

 

 Chorus (x2)
