We Close Our Eyes Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

We close our eyes 

We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around again 

When everybody is running in the big race 

And having a good time 

Who am I to cast a shadow 

Who am I? 

I looked death in the face last night 

I saw him in a mirror 

And he simply smiled 

He told me not to worry 

He told me just to take my time 

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again 

We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone 

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again 

We close our eyes and dream 

And if you come to me 

And if you touch my hand 

I might just slip away 

I might just disappear 

Who am I? 

And if you think I'm worth it 

And if you think it's not too late 

We might start falling 

If we don't try too hard 

We might start falling in love 

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again 

We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone 

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again 

We close our eyes and dream 

We're on the healing path 

We're on a roller coaster ride 

That can never turn back 

And if you love me 

And if you really try 

To make those seconds count 

Then we can close our eyes 

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again 

We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone 

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again 

We close our eyes and dream 

We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
