Ruth Etting — Close Your Eyes

Close your eyes Rest your head on my shoulder and sleep Close your eyes And I will close mine Close your eyes Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep Close your eyes Oh, this is divine Under a midnight sky Watching a single star Thrilled by the beauty up above Alone, just you and I Hearing a steel guitar Thrilled by the beauty of our love Close your eyes Rest your head on my shoulder and sleep Close your eyes And I will close mine Close your eyes Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep Close your eyes Oh, this is divine Music plays Something dreamy for dancing while we're here romancing It's love's holiday And love will be our guide Close your eyes When you open them, dear, I'll be here By your side
