I Close My Eyes Lyrics

I know her and she knows me
We’re not as young as we used to be
Chasing down the careless age
‘Till wisdom came running on faster legs

I close my eyes and dream of her
Many years ago
I close my eyes and dream of her
Many girls ago

I know her and she knows me
She is the face of my enemy
Once the future’s greatest fear
Now my reflection inside the mirror

I close my eyes and dream of her
Many years ago
I close my eyes and dream of her
And all she didn’t know
I close my eyes and dream of her
Many girls ago
I close my eyes and dream of her

Dancing in patches of sunlight
Time was an hourless friend
Oh how I wish to be that girl again
And be wiser tomorrow
