I Close My Eyes and Think of You
Eternal Reflections: I Close My Eyes and Find You
Lyrics
When another day has ended
Reflecting on the conclusion of another day
And everything's been said and done
Contemplating the completion of tasks and conversations
And the lights across the valley
Observing the lights in the distant valley
All go out one by one
Noting the gradual extinguishing of lights one by one
I close my eyes, I close my eyes and think of you
Closing the eyes and focusing on thoughts of someone special
I close my heavy eyes and that's all I need to do
Finding solace in shutting the eyes, with thoughts of the person being enough
Sometimes when I get a moment
Taking advantage of moments during the day
In the middle of the day
Seizing a break when nothing else demands attention
And nothing else needs my attention
Ensuring that no other obligations divert focus
I take my chance and slip away
Utilizing the chance to mentally escape
I close my eyes, I close my eyes and think of you
Repeating the act of closing eyes to think of the person
I close my heavy eyes and that's all I need to do
Emphasizing the simplicity of finding peace through closed eyes
I hear the big trucks changing gears
Noting the sounds of passing trucks and their gear shifts
As they go rolling by my door
Being aware of the external world, such as trucks passing by
The driver counts his days 'til he gets home
Imagining a truck driver counting days until returning home
If I could only count my days
Expressing uncertainty about what the future holds
But I just don't know what's in store
Unknown about the future, contrasting it with the driver's anticipation
I've been so long on my own
Reflecting on a prolonged period of solitude
I know there's a singing river
Awareness of a metaphorical singing river
I've heard about the golden shore
Knowing of a fabled golden shore
But I would pass by all that beauty
Expressing a willingness to bypass beauty for the sake of reuniting with a loved one
Just to be with you once more
Valuing the company of the person over scenic beauty
I close my eyes, I close my eyes and think of you
Repeating the comforting act of closing eyes and thinking of the person
I close my heavy eyes and that's all I need to do
Stressing the simplicity and sufficiency of finding peace through closed eyes
I close my weary eyes and that's when I think of you
Acknowledging weariness and finding solace in thoughts of the person
