When I Close My Eyes

Guess I never thought again I'd hear your voice
When you packed your bags and pulled out of Detroit
Yea the snowfalls are long and hard to bear
Knowin' you're down south with sunshine on your hair
You sent a postcard from Graceland when you passed through
It read  even though we lost I still love you
I keep it like a locket on a chain
I tell myself that I moved on but only half the way
And every time I close my eyes
You're dancin' 'neath the full moon light
Your faded jeans across the hood
My arms wrap 'round you tight and good
And I'm wiser than I was that day
Now I'd have some words to say
Ones that just might make you stay with me
That's only when I close my eyes
Lately I've been talking to God again
And the string of things I didn't do back then
No doubt I'm better off having had you
Yeah  you taught me how to love
Taught me how to lose it too
And every time I close my eyes
You're dancin' 'neath the full moon light
Your faded jeans across the hood
My arms wrap 'round you tight and good
And I'm wiser than I was that day
Now I'd have some words to say
Ones that just might make you stay with me
That's only when I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
You're dancin' 'neath the full moon light
Your faded jeans across the hood
My arms wrap 'round you tight and good
And I'm wiser than I was that day
Now I'd have some words to say
Ones that just might make you stay with me
That's only when I close my eyes
When I close these eyes
