We Close Our Eyes

We close our eyes, we close our eyes

We close our eyes and dream

And the world has turned around again

When everybody is running in the big race

And having 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 he simply smiled

He told me not to worry

He told me just to take my time

We close our eyes, we close our eyes

And the world has turned around again

We close our eyes and dream

And another year has come and gone

We close our eyes, we close our eyes

And the world has turned around again

We close our eyes and dream

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

We might start falling

If we don't try too hard

We might start falling in love

We close our eyes, we close our eyes

And the world has turned around again

We close our eyes and dream

And another year has come and gone

We close our eyes, we close our eyes

And the world has turned around again

We close our eyes and dream

We're on a healing path

We're on a rollercoaster ride

That can never turn back

And if you love me

And if you really try

To make the seconds count

Then we can close our eyes

We close our eyes, we close our eyes

And the world has turned around again

We close our eyes and dream

And another year has come and gone

We close our eyes, we close our eyes

And the world has turned around again

We close our eyes and dream...
