Brooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A long time ago
Even now in my arms
You still want him I know
But darling this time
Let your memories die
When you hold me tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool
Holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms
Knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day
That you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Brooks's song Close is a poignant ballad that talks about a man who is in love with a woman who is still holding onto the memories of a past relationship. The song's emotional lyrics convey the pain of unrequited love and the hope that one day the woman will let go of her past and give the man a chance to love her fully.
The first verse expresses the man's understanding of the woman's past love for someone else. He acknowledges the fact that she still holds a special place in her heart for him, but he implores her to let go of those memories and be present with him in the moment. The second verse is more vulnerable and shows the man questioning his own worth and feeling like a fool for holding onto a relationship that may never fully be his. However, he still holds onto hope that one day she will choose him over her past.
The chorus is the most powerful part of the song. It repeats the message to not close her eyes and to let it be him, not pretending that he is someone else. The man reminds her that if she can let go of her past, she will find more love than she ever knew was possible. The final lines of the song, "Just hold me tight when you love me tonight and don't close your eyes" is a plea for the woman to be fully present with him in the moment, holding onto the hope that she will one day choose him and let go of her past.
Overall, Close is a song that speaks to the universal experience of unrequited love and the hope that one day that love will be reciprocated. Its emotional lyrics and moving melody make it a timeless classic in the world of country music.

Lyrics:
Rising with each beat that the music is bringing
We're all flames in the fire that keeps burning
We're inviting the night in
Welcome, oh my heart's so full
I'm devoting myself to the night
There's no motive
We're just listening, we're existing
We stay where the music plays
Where the lights drop low, and the people sway
(Drop)
Rising with each beat that the music is bringing
We're all flames in the fire that keeps burning
We're inviting the night in
Welcome, oh my heart's so full
I'm devoting myself to the night
There's no motive
We're just listening, we're existing
We stay where the music plays
Where the lights drop low, and the people sway
(Another drop)
I wrote the entire lyrics btw.

We stay where glitter glows,
