John Denver — Don't Close Your Eyes, Tonight lyrics

Lyrics

ThereЂ™s a tenderness that I feel, itЂ™s very real you see
I can feel your body stir so deep within
Let it be an out of love tonight completely
And let me ask of you one thing
DonЂ™t close your eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times I cried for you
DonЂ™t close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight
Well you can lie so close to someone and still feel alone
And though I heard you say you loved me so many times
While you give me love so beautiful and tender
Someone else is in your mind
DonЂ™t close your eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times I cried for you
DonЂ™t close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight
Sorry if I cry — feelings run so deep
Many is a time when IЂ™ll wake up and find
That IЂ™m crying in my sleep
Look me in the eye, tell me what you see
IЂ™m the one who loves you, IЂ™m the one who needs you
Make this one for me DonЂ™t close youe eyes tonight
Just look at me and see how many times I cried for you
DonЂ™t close your eyes tonight
Let it be me, not just a fantasy
Let it be me tonight
