phyllis cole-dai: Music Room

"Close My Eyes"

(Sung by Paul Fannin;  Kurt Smith, Vickie Murphy on guitar)

When the scent of lilacs hangs in the air
and the sun has gone down to the cawing of crows;
when someone I love is tousling my hair,
or sings a lullaby so sweetly and slow:

Then I close my eyes in sleep,
I close my eyes in sleep.

(Humming)

When my tummy is full of good things to eat,
and the day's last bell sounds from the church's tall spire;
when I hear the wind tossing the branches of the trees,
or I'm rocked in a chair by a cozy little fire:

Then I close my eyes in sleep,
I close my eyes in sleep.

(Humming)
