Close Your Eyes
Jack Pleis 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

This is an excellent album. Thank you for posting it.

@GPNETTO1

Fantástico o seu catálogo de LPs instrumentais das décadas de 50 e 60. Continue a nos presentear com a verdadeira música, com orquestras que, infelizmente não existem mais!

@rosiangeldedios8794

la música, si que existe, gracias a estos señores, que tan amablemente, nos regalan nuestros oidos; pero que será de éstas músicas cuando nadie las ponga? el mundo dejará de escuchar la verdadera música, que nos llega al alma
