CLOSE MY EYES

(Gloria Estefan)
If I could just close my eyes
See just what I wanted to see
It would be much easier to live this life,
Thinking that it never really comes down
to me
Sometimes I wanna close my eyes
So I can't see time while it's slipping away
We're all walking a very fine line,
Until reality is somehow thrown in our face
Bury it deep and maybe you won't feel
the pain
But you can't let it go
Down the line it will be back again
If we could all close our eyes
To all the things we know that are wrong
We could live selfishly protected lives
Not even thinking about what we could
have done
Say it's not there and maybe it will go away
But the truth is it won't
Down the line it will be back again
And rather than examine it
I think I better handle it
What good is it to close my eyes
Or tell myself another lie
Gotta get along somehow and sometimes
it's easier
Sometimes I have to close my eyes
And let you think you can make a fool out
of me
But I set myself up each time
By trusting you so openly
Bu tthat's the way I wanna be, that's the way
I wanna be
