Close My Eyes

Mariah Carey

---

[Intro]
No no no no
No no no, no no
No no no no
Do do do, dah dah
Dah dah

[Verse 1]
I was a wayward child
With the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn't know

[Chorus]
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I gew up a little too soon

La da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da
Da da da da

La da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da
Da da da da

[Verse 2]
Funny how one can learned
To hold onto the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget

[Chorus]
As I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I gew up a little too soon

La da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da
Da da da da

La da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da
Da da da da

[Bridge]
Nearing the edge (nearing the edge)
Obivious I almost (obivious I almost)
Fell right over
A part of me (a part of me)
Wille never be quite able (will never be)
To feel stable (able to feel)
That woman-child falling inside (that woman-child)
(feeling inside)
Thankfully I (thank fully I)
Woke up in time
(Woke up in time, time, time)

[Verse 3]
Guardian angel I
Sail away on an ocean
With you by my side
Orangey clouds roll by
They burn into your image
And you're still alive
(You're always alive)

[Chorus]
As I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still feel like a child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I gew up a little too soon

La da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da
Da da da da

La da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da
Da da da da

La da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da
Da da da da

La da da da da
La da da da da da da
La da da da
Da da da da
