Close My Eyes
John Anthony Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time for us
There never seems to be enough

When we find ourselves alone
Caught up in our world
It's time to go

I close my eyes and think of you

Sometimes I feel it's all I can do

Although you're not here
Your smile is so clear

Our love strong and pure
Makes me feel secure
I can't wait to see you

So many thoughts of us together
So many dreams to share forever

You are all I desire
You and me together

Time for us
It's time for us to be together

There never seems to be enough
We never seem to have enough time together

When we find ourselves alone
When we are away from each other

Caught up in our world
Distracted by our own lives

It's time to go
It's time for us to be reunited

I close my eyes and think of you
The only way I can be close to you is in my thoughts

Sometimes I feel it's all I can do
There are times when I miss you so much that I can only daydream about our time together

Although you're not here
Even though you’re not physically with me

Your smile is so clear
The memory of your smile is vivid in my mind

Our love strong and pure
Our love is genuine and genuine
