Close My Eyes and Think of You

Music

I close my eyes and I think of you
I lift my hands up to the sky
Heavy tears role down my face
I am lonesome
I feel so empty now inside

Walking alone through a meadow
I go running through the woods
Standing high on a mountain top
I'm looking over the world for you

Seems like such a long, long time
But the memory still remains
I can almost hear your voice
And on my lonely nights
I lie awake and think of you, of you

Looking for you people wonder
why I live in misery
But they don't know how much I loved you
And now that your gone
I don't know if I can go on
no more, no more

I close my eyes and I think of you
I lift my hands up to the sky
Heavy tears role down my face
I am lonesome
I feel so empty now inside
