Close My Eyes - Mariah Carey

Lyrics by：Mariah Carey

Composed by：Mariah Carey/Walter Afanasieff

I was wayward child

With the weight of the

World that I held deep inside

Life was a winding road

And I learned many things

Little ones shouldn't know

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

And though time's rolled by

Still I feel like that child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up a little too soon

La la la da da

La la la da da da da

La la la da da

Da da da da

La la la da da

La la la da da da da

La la la da da

Da da da da

Funny how one can learn

To grow numb to the madness

And block it away block it away

I left the worst unsaid

Let it all dissipate and I try to forget

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

And though time's rolled by

Still feel like that

Child as I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up a little too soon

La la la da da

La la la da da da da

La la la da da

Da da da da

La la la da da

La la la da da da da

La la la da da

Da da da da

Nearing the edge nearing the edge

Oblivious I almost oblivious

Fell right over

A part of me a part of me

Will never be quite able will never be

To feel stable will never be

That woman-child falling inside

That woman-child

Was on the verge of fading I

Thankfully I thankfully I

Woke up in time woke up in time time time

Guardian angel I

Sail away on an ocean

With you by my side

Orange clouds roll by

They burn into your image

And you're still alive

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

And though time's rolls by

Still feel like that child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up a little too soon

La la la da da

La la la da da da da

La la la da da

Da da da da

La la la da da

La la la da da da da

La la la da da

Da da da da

La la la da da

La la la da da da da

La la la da da

Da da da da

La la la da da

La la la da da da da

La la la da da

Da da da da
