OPEN AND CLOSED By Tom Jensen
(for a female vocalist)
Won’t you close your eyes?
Have a listen to my song
Can you still see me?
This is for someone dear to me
Since hearts don’t tell lies
They speak syllables of truth
Can you still see me?
Have I yet appeared to you?
Don’t you know how much
Just what you mean to me?
Won’t you keep me real
Don’t let me become
Just another memory
Please stay here with me
Never let me fade away
Please hold onto me
Never let me disappear
With the inner strength
Residing inside you
No woman alive
Would ever deny you
I could live for you
I would die for you
But I’ll cry for you
If you want me to do
Hold me in your hands
Be my shell,
I’ll be your pearl
Now I understand
That you have control
Over my entire waking world
Be my ray of light
On this cloud-filled day
Please give me words
When I don’t know what to say
Give me inspiration
Keep me brave and strong
Please keep your eyes closed
Until I finish my song
Don’t you know how much
Just what you mean to me?
Won’t you keep me real
Don’t let me become
Just another memory
Won’t you stay with me
Never let me fade away
Please hold onto me
Never let me disappear
Now open your eyes
I stand naked before you
Sung my siren’s song of truth
Whispered softly my secret
"I live to adore you..."
