Close My Eyes

I could close my eyes and see you; I can reach back and see you there,
From the very first time I saw you, a beauty beyond the pale
You recall those moments in silence; never forget the instant when,
My heart was rendered open, and love came tumbling in

And the first time I kissed you, oh baby that was sublime
A mix of need and desire, and a yearning to be satisfied
The naked form of your body, whose story was mine to explore
As the pages lay bare before me, your depths more profound

I could close my eyes and see you, riding with the breeze in your hair
Watching form and movement, as the horse and you become one
For here lies deep your passion, will your equine dreams ever come true?
To try so hard it hurts you; it's the thing that makes you blue

If I close my eyes and hear you, your refrain is hauntingly sweet
A melody of your soulful cry, who's lyric exposes the heart within
You showed me the beauty of an artist; you reveal the essence of your being
Secrets hidden in the deepest thoughts, are clues to the nature of your art

If I close my eyes and see you, it's all I have left anymore
Scenes of our life together, the fragments of a drama played out
The echoes of dreams that moved you, as they varied from day to day
Yes I close my eyes and see you, where a flame still flickers in the night

I close my eyes and see you,
I close my eyes and your there,
I close my eyes to see you,
As I softly call your name,
