    LYRICS
    You Can Close Your Eyes by James Taylor
    Well, the sun is surely sinkin’ down
    But the moon is slowly risin’
    So this old world must still be spinnin’ ’round
    Yes, and I still love you
    So close your eyes
    You can close your eyes
    It’s all right
    I don’t know no love songs
    And I can’t sing the blues anymore
    Yes, but I can sing this song
    And you can sing this song when I’m gone
    It won’t be long before another day
    We’re gonna have a good time
    And no one’s gonna take that time away
    You can stay as long as you like
    Only close your eyes
    You can close your eyes
    It’s all right
    Oh, I don’t know no love songs
    And I can’t sing the blues anymore
    Sure, but I can sing this song
    Yes, and you can sing this song when I’m gone

    JT is in my opinion the finest artist of my generation! He has the entire package. A phenomenal singer, guitarist and songwriter. This is so rare today but I feel so blessed to have followed JT from the early 70’s until this day! What a ride it’s been to watch this incredible talent evolve! Well done JT and thank you!
