Close My Eyes (lyrics)

I have learned that love can be
The hardest thing you can achieve
It changes up and makes you weak,
You need the strength to just believe
You
Have been a part of me
Surrounded me with simplicity
And in your arms I find the peace
To love myself so openly

Close my eyes and I realize
Years ago when I learned to cry
I never thought I could survive
Until you walked into my life

When you love someone so freely
You let down the walls around your heart
You teach yourself to let them in
You love them from the start
It's in those times that miracles
Become a part of who you are
You have been my shining star
Through the rainy days
We have come so far

Close my eyes and I realize
Years ago when I learned to cry
I never thought I could survive
Until you walked into my life

I can't pretend the hurt away
But with your love it dissipates
I've found the strength inside the pain
To make it through the rain
And
I close my eyes and realize
Years ago when I learned to cry
I never thought I could survive
Until you walked into my life
And
I close my eyes and realize
That love was always on my side
