| Close My Eyes Music and lyrics by Tracey Leanne Lutz |
| Background I wrote this song back in the summer of 1999, and it basically details the beginning of my relationship with Alan. This song should have set a siren off in my head that the relationship would probably fail, but I was still blinded by the thrill of the "secrecy" of our relationship (meaning that he didn't want anyone to know that we were dating...) Dedication Alan the dancing Irishman (guy the song was written for) |
| Lyrics Verse 1: It’s summertime and the moonlight shines outside my window. I close my eyes and I can’t speak. I think of you and of all the love I could show. I close my eyes… feel your lips on my cheek. Verse 2:In summertime, I’m free to wander I don’t have anywhere to be tonight, do you? You hold my hand, put your arms around my waist and I ponder. I think I should be with you tonight, do you think that too? Instrumental Verse 3: Summer nights you kiss me underneath the streetlight. Summer days, you’re always gone. Summer nights, you seem to hold me real tight. Summer days I wonder what went wrong. Excuse me, will this be going on for long? I’m not sure I have the strength to hold on. Instrumental Verse 4: Summer fling, said you’d give me a ring Never rang me back though… bastard Summer fling, hurt me real bad, made me so mad, Now I’m just sad. Instrumental Verse 5: It’s summertime and the moonlight shines outside my window. I close my eyes and I feel weak. I think of you and of all the love you’ll never know, I close my eyes, feel the tears on my cheek. I close my eyes and I can’t speak. I close my eyes. |
