Close My Eyes Lyrics

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...
