Lyrics

You Never Close Your Eyes

Verse 1:
They say that the eyes are the mirror of the soul,
but sometimes I wonder if that’s true.
Because to see a real reflection of what’s hidden deep within,
you have to close your eyes to get the view.
Lately I’ve been wondering just what you’re really seeing
in the love you said you had right from the start.
Honey, love is not a matter of what is always seen,
but is a matter of the heart.

1st Chorus:
Is it real and do you feel, the way you’re supposed to feel inside?
Are you just going through the motions to convince yourself of something,
that was never in your heart, just in your mind.
Even when you hold me, it feels so cold and lonely.
I can tell that you don’t mean it most the time.
And you’re not very convincing, cause darling when you kiss me,
You never close your eyes.

Verse 2:
Is the image that you see a picture of what’s real
of the love I thought would be forever true?
But the image seems to wane. Through uncaring eyes love fades,
like a beautiful dream that goes away.

Bridge:
We close our eyes when we dream.
We close our eyes when we pray to God above.
The most beautiful things through eyes are seldom seen,
so close your eyes and fall in love.

2nd Chorus:
Even when you hold me, it feels so cold and lonely.
I can tell that you don’t mean it most the time.
And you’re not very convincing, cause darling when you kiss me,
You never close your eyes.

Tag:
It’s like you’re just pretending, cause darling when you kiss me,
You never close your eyes.
