Close Your Eyes To Open the Past

If the world is moving too fast Close your eyes to open the past You’re sitting at your mother’s knee Listening to fairytales with glee. The smell of cookies in the air Playing outside without a care You were so young and fair of face And running was your only race. Those memories will always heal When today’s strife you start to feel Don’t be afraid, keep that child near Along with others you held dear. To live that happy time again Open your eyes, you’ll find a grin!
