I'll Close My Eyes Lyrics

by Julie Roberts

How 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 hangin' low
And the sky's growin' colder

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e110586-julie_roberts~ill_close_my_eyes_lyrics.html ]
(Chorus)
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 hole 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 dinin' room table
You come home late
You don't even find
Once we were lovers
Now I hardly know you
You turn down the light
Night after night
I lay by your side
And...

(Repeat Chorus)

I just can't bear
To see this house empty
As empty as the hole in my chest
Where my heart used to be
I'll close my eyes
So I don't have to watch you leave

So I don't have to watch you leave
