I'll Close My Eyes Lyrics

Heaven sends
A song through its doors
Just as if it seems to know
I'm exclusively yours
Knowing this
I feel but one way
You will understand too
In these words that I say
I'll close my eyes
To everyone but you
And when I do
I'll see you standing there
Mmh, I'll lock my heart
To any other caress
I'll never say yes
To a new love affair
I'll close my eyes
To everything that's gay
If you're not there
To share each lovely day
And through the years
Those moments
When we're far apart
I close my eyes
Mmh, and see you with my heart
I'll close my eyes
To everything that's gay
But if you're not there
To share each lovely day
And through the years
Those moments
When we're far apart
I'll close my eyes
Oh, and see you with my heart

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
