[Verse 1:]
|
He remembers the night like it was yesterday,
|
No I wasn't there but I heard him say,
|
That it was real and it was true,
|
And when I close my eyes I can be there too,
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Red flowers swaying on the white curtains blowing in the kitchen window,
|
New Orleans in the summertime Edna James singing on the radio,
|
Slow dancing on the checkered board floor,
|
Bare for memories from long ago,
|
I'm there when I close my eyes.
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
I remember my mother lying on my bed,
|
Holding me close she always said,
|
That it was real and it was true,
|
And when I close my eyes I can be there too
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
[Bridge:]
|
And if I'm only dreaming
|
If you just once believe it
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
Cause I'm there when I close my eyes
|
|

Now When I Close My Eyes
