Close My Eyes Lyrics

CLOSE MY EYES
-------------
(Gloria Estefan)
If I could just close my
eyes
See just what I wanted to see.
It would be much easier to live this
life,
Thinking that it never really comes down
to me.
Sometimes I
wanna close my eyes.
So I can't see time while it's slipping away.
We're
all walking a very fine line,
Until reality is somehow thrown in our
face.
Bury it deep and maybe you won't feel
the pain.
But you can't
let it go.
Down the line it will be back again.
If we could all close our
eyes
To all the things we know that are wrong
We could live selfishly
protected lives
Not even thinking about what we could
have done.
Say
it's not there and maybe it will go away
But the truth is it won't
Down
the line it will be back again.
And rather than examine it
I think I
better handle it
What good is it to close my eyes
Or tell myself another
lie
Gotta get along somehow and sometimes
it's easier.
Sometimes I
have to close my eyes
And let you think you can make a fool out
of
me.
But I set myself up each time
By trusting you so openly.
Bu
tthat's the way I wanna be, that's the way
I wanna be...
