Before I Close My Eyes Lyrics

Before I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I hope it's not too late for me, whoa
Before I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I hope it's not too late for me, whoa

Difference changing in the distance
Time consumes the image, oh
Difference changing in the distance
Time consumes our image, whoa

Before I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I hope it's not too late for me, whoa
Before I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
I hope it's not too late for me, whoa
LONG LIVE X

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.

RIP X I love u man no homo you were an inspiration I've done so much research about you, you were the only person I really have listened to for the past two years and even though you've done some mistakes I don't believe you should've gone out like that nor anyone else I mean you were trying to change and do better we all do mistakes and deserve another chance no matter how many that's what keeps us going in a way you brought so much hope and inspiration I just wish I could've met you or gone to one of your concerts I will always remember your but, to be honest as I'm writing this it seems like a goodbye even though you're already gone I hope to see you when my time is u I am only 15 my name is Gabriel Fimbres and I am proud to be an X fan and will forever be one LONG LIVE X
