I'll Close My Eyes

Who can a man Lie next to a woman A woman who loves him And still feel alone There was a day I lit up your whole world Now the sun's hanging low And the sky is growing colder I'll close my eyes Pretend this ain't happening I'll close my eyes Those tail lights I'll never see I just can't bear to see this house empty As empty as the whole in my chest Where my heart used to be I'll close my eyes So I don't have to watch you leave You left your ring On the dining room table You come home late We don't even fight Once we were lovers Now I hardly know you You turn down the light Night after night I lay by your side I'll close my eyes Pretend this ain't happening I'll close my eyes Those tail lights I'll never see I just can't bear to see this house empty As empty as the whole in my chest Where my heart used to be I'll close my eyes So I don't have to watch you leave --- I'll Close My Eyes - Julie Roberts
