Close My Eyes Lyrics by Mariah Carey

Close My Eyes Lyrics

    I was a wayward child
    With the weight of the world
    That I held deep inside
    Life was a winding road
    And I learned many things
    Little ones shouldn't know

    Chorus
    But I closed my eyes
    Steadied my feet on the ground
    Raised my head to the sky
    And though time's rolled by
    Still I feel like that child
    As I look at the moon
    Maybe I grew up
    A little too soon

    Funny how one can learn
    To grow numb to the madness
    And block it away
    I left the worse unsaid
    Let it all dissipate
    And I try to forget

    Chorus

    (Bridge)
    Nearing the edge
    Oblivious I almost
    Fell right over
    A part of me
    Will never be quite able
    To feel stable
    That woman-child falling inside
    Was on the verge of fading
    Thankfully I
    Woke up in time

    Guardian angel I
    Sail away on an ocean
    With you by my side
    Orange clouds roll by
    They burn into your image
    And you're still alive
    (you're always alive)

    Chorus
