Let Me Close My Eyes

Let me close my eyes
And dream of you tonight.
As shadows begin to parade
Along the vacant walls.

Let me close my eyes
And be with you tonight.
Being held in your embrace
As much as I wish to be.

Let me close my eyes
And see with you tonight.
Admiring the shadow puppets
As stars twinkle just beyond our windows.

Let me close my eyes
And hear with you tonight.
Listening to the distant melodies
That eventually lull us to sleep.

Let me close my eyes
And pray with you tonight.
Just hoping that one day
We could together, evaporate.
