| Kelly Clarkson – Close Your Eyes Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Wow, after listening to this demo, this is quite possibly my favorite Kelly song of all time. I hope it ends up on the new album! It is so beautiful and flows nicely…I love singing it. When I examine the lyrics (some of the above lyrics are wrong), in my mind I see a woman who is very much in love with a man (or woman) who is dealing with some major issues (well, they both are). This gave me a entirely new perspective on how it could feel to be in love with someone who is physically hurting you. Normally, I would say domestic abuse would be a reason to end any relationship, but through these lyrics there is a sense of “well, my partner is dealing with hard times and others are giving up on them, but I won’t…I’m going to stick with them until the end.” She is telling her partner to ‘close your eyes’ assuring them that she is not going to leave. Here are the correct lyrics… I don't mind waiting here I know you're coming Even though the others left I hear But I'm not one to give up We said forever so I'm standing here I'm standing here And I don't mind You would never leave me behind If you break, I'll break too When you're lonely, I'll hold on to you I see you closing down, but I won't give up now I'm gonna fight for you tonight Close Your Eyes You might fall and I might cry Covered in bruises I refuse to let this tear apart our lives Others talk, let them talk Love isn't easy but it's worth it yeah You're worth it yeah No I don't mind I could never leave you behind If you break, I'll break too When you're lonely I'll hold on to you I see you closing down, but I won't give up now I'm gonna fight for you tonight Close Your Eyes And I'm kissing you Kiss away those fears you hold on to And I feel it too And if you start to fall, I promise I'll fall with you No I don't mind waiting here I know you're coming even though the others left I hear But I'm not one to give up We said forever so I'm standing here I'm standing here If you break I'll break too When you're lonely I'll hold on to you I see you closing down, but I won't give up now I'm gonna fight for you tonight Close Your Eyes Yeah, Close Your Eyes Close Your Eyes |
