Don't Close Your Eyes
Virgin Steele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With nothing but a memory to call my own
We shared each day, and the days to years
But now the love we share is blinded by tears
Look in my eyes and speak to me
Can you really forget me?
Ooh in the light you'll be alright
[Chorus]
Don't close your eyes tonight
'Cause you know I'll be there in your dreams
Oh babe don't go, don't go
Don't leave me here alone
Forget me not whatever you do
And please remember that
I still love you
I made it clear I need you here
Every night I cry for you
And do you know I can't let go?
Open up your arms I'm coming home
[Chorus]
I made it clear I need you here
Every night I cry for you
And do you know I can't let go?
Open up your arms I'm coming home
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Virgin Steele's song "Don't Close Your Eyes" are full of longing and desperate expressions of love. The person singing the song is clearly in love with someone who is slipping away from them. They are heartbroken at the thought of being left alone with nothing but memories of the time they spent with their loved one. They've shared each day and watched them turn into years, but now all they have left is the tears they've shed over a love that seems to be fading away.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant. The singer begs their loved one not to close their eyes because they know they'll be there in their dreams, as they are unable to be with them in reality. The singer is pleading with their loved one not to forget them but to remember they still love them despite the distance that is growing between them. They express their need for their loved one to be there every night, and they cry for them when they are not. They beg their loved one to open up their arms and let them come home, highlighting their desire to be reunited with their love.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of love and heartbreak. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and desperation, as the singer tries to hold onto a love that seems to be slipping away. The song is a reminder of the power of love, and how it can both lift us up and break our hearts.
Line by Line Meaning
Don't go, don't leave me here alone
Please don't go away and leave me here all by myself
With nothing but a memory to call my own
Without any physical presence of you except memories
We shared each day, and the days to years
We spent every day and time together for years
But now the love we share is blinded by tears
Our love is now obscured by sorrow and crying
Look in my eyes and speak to me
Look directly into my eyes and talk to me
Can you really forget me?
Can you truly erase me from your memory?
Ooh in the light you'll be alright
You'll feel okay in the light
But every evening I'll be haunting you
However, I'll be a lingering presence in your thoughts every night
Don't close your eyes tonight
Don't shut your eyes tonight
'Cause you know I'll be there in your dreams
Because you are aware that I'll appear in your dreams
Oh babe don't go, don't go
Oh darling, please don't go
Forget me not whatever you do
Please don't forget me regardless of what you do
And please remember that I still love you
And please retain the knowledge that I still love you
I made it clear I need you here
I've told you before that I require you here with me
Every night I cry for you
I shed tears for you every night
And do you know I can't let go?
Do you know I'm unable to release my feelings for you?
Open up your arms I'm coming home
Get ready to embrace me, as I'm returning home
