Nellie McKay Lyrics
"Close Your Eyes"

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 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 near by your side
So won't you close your eyes?

(Scatting)

Music playing
Palm trees swaying dolphins playing
It's a lover's holiday
And our love will show us the way

Close your eyes
And envision this vision I see
You and me
Let's close our eyes

(instrumental break)

Close your eyes
Rest your head on my shoulder and sleep
Close your eyes
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 we're here romancing
It's love's holiday
And our 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?

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes

Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
