Alexa Vega - Now When I Close My Eyes lyrics

rate me

He remembers the night like it was yesterday

No, I wasn’t there but I heard him say,

That it was real and it was true

Now when I close my eyes I can be there, too

Red flowers swaying on the white curtains,

Blowing in the kitchen window

New Orleans in the summertime,

Etta James singing on the radio

Slow dancing on a checkerboard floor

Built from memories of long ago

And there when I close my eyes

I remember my mother lying on my bed

Holding me close, she always said

That it was real and it was true

Now when I close my eyes I can be there, too

Red flowers swaying on the white curtains,

Blowing in the kitchen window

New Orleans in the summertime,

Etta James singing on the radio

Slow dancing on a checkerboard floor

Built from memories of long ago

And there when I close my eyes

And if I’m only dreaming

If he just wants me to leave him

If all of it’s real

Well, that won’t change how I feel

Cause I know that your trust is a choice

And I know, I know, I can tell from his voice

I can roar, I can fight

Still, I’ll always be haunted by

Red flowers swaying on the white curtains,

Blowing in the kitchen window

New Orleans in the summertime,

Etta James singing on the radio

Slow dancing on a checkerboard floor

Built from memories of long ago

And there when I close my eyes

Someday

When I close my eyes
