If I Close My Eyes

/My hands caress the contours of your body
as you sleep next to me...
I can't beleive it...
the sun rises outside my window
and your leg slowly overlaps mine
as I pull the cover over us...
I couldn't have conceived it../

/but if I close my eyes
and open them again
and find you here with me...
then I know it's not a dream-
If I close my eyes
and open them again...
and find you still by my side
then I can reasonably beleive
that it's great, just bein alive.....

If I close my eyes...

/Funny, girl
I remember the days
when I was scared to touch you...
when you seemed out of my range..
It's such a small small world
Things all seemed to just come into play
and in the coming days my instincts
taught me to trust you.../

baby if I..
close my eyes
and open them again
to find your tender hand in mine...
If I close my eyes
and pinch myself
and you're still lying next to me...
I smile
and think of how great it is to be alive....

this aint a dream..
this aint a dream...
though I still gotta pinch myself..
and tell myself this is real....

If I close my eyes
I trust that you'll be there...
you'll still be there...

If I close my eyes...
(and trust you...)

and touch you-
