we close our eyes

Susanna Hoffs

We close our eyes (close our eyes)
We close our eyes and dream
And the world has turned around again, oh

When everybody is running in the big race
And havin' a good time
Who am I to cast a shadow, who am I
I looked death in the face last night
I saw him in a mirror
And I simply smiled
He told me not to worry
He told me just to take my time.

We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (close our eyes)
That another year has come and gone
We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (close our eyes).

And if you come to me and if you touch my hand
I might just slip away
I might just disappear, who am I
And if you think I'm worth it
And if you think it's not too late
You might start falling
If we don't try too hard
We might start falling in love.

We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (close our eyes)
That another year has come and gone
We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (close our eyes).

We're on a healing path
We're on a roller coaster ride
That can never turn back
And if you love me
And if you really try
We'll make the seconds count
And we can close our eyes.

We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes (close our eyes)
We close our eyes (close our eyes)
And the world has turned around again
We close our eyes and dream (close our eyes).
