When I Close My Eyes

Greg Trooper When I Close My Eyes written by Greg Trooper Buddy Miller guitar Duane Jarvis mandolin Al Perkins steel guitar Rick Schell drums Greg Shirley bass/harmony Phil Madeira organ Greg Trooper vocals/acoustic guitar We laid down outside Memphis Drawing patterns on the moon Our sleeping bags were all we had To keep away the dew I could not help but wonder If I could hold you tight Since that evening chill I long to hold you still Haven't seen you since that night But I close my eyes And I feel fine Cause dreams come true by and by I love you only But I'm never lonely Cause you're always there When I close my eyes For a time my life was easy Cause I always seemed to know One day you'd think of me And finally see How much I loved you so But one cool October evening Outside the rendezvous Through the fog and mist I saw two lovers kiss One looked an awful lot like you But I close my eyes And I feel fine Cause dreams come true by and by I love you only But I'm never lonely Cause you're always there When I close my eyes SOLO As the rain hits my windshield It get louder every timee I cannot see Ahead of me As clear as I see behind I'm racing out of Memphis Hard and fast and blind I Remember when I was your only friend Now I'm the last thing on your mind But I close my eyes And I feel fine Cause dreams come true by and by I love you only But I'm never lonely Cause you're always there When I close my eyes From Greg Trooper "Popular Demons" Koch Records 1998 Peanuts & Crackerjacks/Sony/ATV Songs(BMI)
