Gloria Estefan Close My Eyes
If I could just close my eyes
See just what I wanted to see
It would be much easier to live this life
Thinkin' that it never really comes down to me
Sometimes I wanna close my eyes
So I can't see time while it's slippin' away
We're all walkin' on a very fine line
'Til reality is somehow thrown in our face
Bury it deep and maybe you won't feel the pain
(Feel the pain)
But you can't let it go
Down the line, will be back again
If we could all close our eyes
All the things we know that are wrong
We could live, selfishly protected lives
Not even think about, what we could have done
Say it's not there and maybe it will go away
(Go away)
But the truth is it won't
Down the line, will be back again
It will be back again
Rather than examine it
Maybe I should handle it
What good is it, to close my eyes
And tell myself another lie
I gotta get along somehow and sometimes the only way
Is to close my eyes
Somtimes I have to close my eyes
Let you think, you can make a fool out of me
Guess I set myself up each time
By trustin' you, so openly
Yeah, that's the way I wanna be
That's the way I wanna be
Woo
Somtimes I have to close my eyes
