Close Your Eyes
Ambrose and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Music play
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

Agreable medium tempo fox-trot from Ambrose. "Got to be sweet, got to be hot", that was the question in the early thirties. Not everything have got to be hot, I agree, although I prefer them. Not solos either but I enjoyed it anyway. Thank you Andy!

@james-flynn1938

Great song andy any idea why 1/4 of the label I've seen it happen to a few ones in the wild if memory serves me correctly sam browne was jack hylton's main vocalist

@AndyLeMaitre

Don't know what happened to the label James but whatever caused it, it didn't affect the grooves thank goodness! Sam made many sides with Hylton but I think he made more with Ambrose.

@PiccDan

Not the tune I expected! Very nice though, thanks.
