Name: Please Close Your Eyes
Duration: P00H04M19S
Description: On the last song of the album, the breakup ballad “Please Close Your Eyes”, the grand piano and a small string ensemble deliver the musical support. This recording has the effect of a symphonic poem or tone poem, almost giving it a classical aura – although the accompaniment is simple and intimate and never overpowers the delivery of the low and softly sung lyric.

lyrics

Please Close Your Eyes

Please close your eyes
while I walk away
I don't want you to see
that it's making me cry

But the longer I stay
the more it will hurt
darling, forgive me,
I knew right from the start

No, don't look at me
don't even try to smile
‘cause to heal this pain
It’s gonna take a while

And the longer I stay
the more it will hurt
so darling forgive me
but I knew right from the start

Please close your eyes
while I walk away
No, don’t kiss me now
It will make me stay

Please close your eyes
while I walk away
I don't want you to see
that it's making me cry

But the longer I stay
the more it will hurt
darling, forgive me,
I knew right from the start

Please forgive me
for breaking your heart
