CLOSE MY EYES Lyrics: Mariah Carey Music: Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff Produced and Arranged: Mariah Carey and Walter Afanasieff
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
But I closed my eyes Steadied my feet on the ground Raised my head to the sky And though time's rolled by Still 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 worst unsaid Let it all dissipate And I try to forget
But I closed my eyes Steadied my feet on the ground Raised my head to the sky And though time's rolled by Still feel like that child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up A little too soon
Nearing the edge Obvious 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
But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raise my head to the sky
And though time's rolls by
Still feel like that child
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up
A little too soon
