Just Close Your Eyes
JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
Everyone has a purpose in life,
just like a husband and wife.
You may not always see them,
but, they are always there.
If you start to think that you have missed that special date,
or not spent enough time with them.
Just close your eyes (pause)
and you will realize
You can see and hear them with no surprise. (Pause)
Once a sister,
you will always be a sister.
Then you will see,
that in your heart lies a true memory that was meant to be.
Do not ponder on the times that you have missed.
Just close your eyes and you will see a list.
For every tear there will be a year of memories that you can see and hear.
When you think that life is too short, and we do not see each other enough.
Just close your eyes and there will be a lifetime of memories for you to see and
hear.
When your sister thinks you have missed her (pause)
Just close your eyes, and with no surprise you will realize
You will never forget her.
So, (pause) as you can see, you are as close as you can be,
Just by closing your eyes.
As long as you remember, (pause)
they are never gone.
