talented artist who's songs never goes out of style,
he's one of my favorites artist, he's songs still and
always heals the Soul, I pray God gives you lot of
beautiful days…
Thank you sir, for reminding people about a time when country music was country music.
Damn I miss real country. They don't get any better than Keith Whitley and Daryle Singletary
What are you 14? You think they're real country? Haha....go to the mall and they will be shoving off reprints of real country....Waylon, Willie, Merle, and Hank. Sorry Chris, just dont see that much of you but that doesn't matter because he hasn't heard of you anyway. I love you!....real country..hahahah
@@jeremyberry4572 you're an absolute clown. Do you feel better now? Talking real country and you're going to put down Keith, really? Go play hotshot somewhere else
William D. Gonna knock Keith? I’m sure you secretly listen to that Luke Bryan and crap. Keith for our newer generations is pretty good for real country.
@@gabbylarue3264 1st off where does anyone think Keith Whitley isn't old country and Luke Bryan and Cole Swindell are real country also. Keith is a legend. His wife is also. So are Waylon, Willie, Hank Sr and Jr, Merle. I love all country. What makes country real country or fake country. All those people sing a type of country music. There is not a bad country artist out today in 2019 or back in 1977 Kenny Rogers and Dolly are legends what about them. But don't knock the Luke Bryan's of the country world either. And I am old I grew up on the older ones but love the newer country to. all of yall are stupid to think all of it isn't real country. This man singing does a great job doing this song.
@@jeremyberry4572 The irony in this comment is amazing. You are using singers for your example who changed country music. It was called "outlaw country" for a reason. Hell, Hank Jr's song Family Traditions is all about this.
There used to be room for different "sounds" in country music, that is kind of what it is/was all about.
Dylan Scott’s voice is so amazing. His version is 100X better than Keith Whitley’s. This is such a beautiful and powerful song
This song is perfect. For how I felt for a past person. Many years ago. He is still with me an guide's me. I'll never forget. Him. Or release completely. I just. Need to be happy. While. Here an. A few years ago I had another close partner. Who passed. An he said. He couldn't. Compete. With a ghost. But to be honest he was the only one to make me forget. About. My ghost. Never. Thought of him in act. Unless. He had brought him up. But they are both gone an. I need to put them. Behind me an make self.happy. we all hold special places. In our hearts. For those we have loved once
I lost my husband of 40 yrs and I don't know if I will ever find love again 😔
Dylan, esto es increible. Te amo. Blessings from México.
You nailed it and I miss the legends and you are making me cry because I miss him
Just beautiful..
Love this
Damnnnnnnnn, great cover!
I LOVE IT
Omg I need that this morning
Love this 🎵
Yes iloved him toi beauitful song when get married play t his song
This song is PURE COUNTRY. Most won't know what this is about but US country Folks do. Dylan Scott NAILED IT !!! He has HONORED Keith & this song. This is 100% COUNTRY Music. That Pop rap Country Music Today doesn't Cut it. Country Music is a DYING Breed in Today's world. It doesn't get MORE Better than this.
Nailed it son. Keith Whitley would be proud. One of the few newcomers these days that actually sing COUNTRY music.
I’ve said this before, but this is the best rendention of a classic, I’ve ever heard. The way this man sings, he’s a mega star, well done sir
I feel disloyal to Keith when I say I like this better than the original. He does an amazing job with this song.
@@phyllisthayer3171not about being disloyal. Keith would have been proud of this man’s effort. He nailed like Keith did, he just elevated the song with his power house vocals
It's amazing how much Keith Whitley is still loved and respected, even though we lost him so early in his career and so long ago he made one hell of an impact.
Imagine if he had been with us as long as George Jones was....makes me sad to think of how many more masterpieces like this one we would have gotten to listen to
60 yrs old, eat, sleep, play, sing, and love country music, but i've never, ever, heard a more beautiful "real" country voice till just now, WOW, that voice is unbelievably, fantastic❣❣❣❣❣
Wow! Good to hear this song from another person who now I know that sings is so strong g n beautiful like Keith Whiteley.
Not many newer country musicans can follow in the footsteps of the older generation but when I first heard this, I was stunned and in love. Keith Whitley would be amazed and honored. Excellent job Dylan. LOVING IT!
Speaks right to my heart. Not having someones full love and attention hurts. Also his voice is perfect for this song!!
Beautiful lines and words to express how it felt to be talented to good word out spoken 😊

I've loved this song since I was a kid. Never had any meaning until I got older and found out what it really meant to me!
I was a huge fan of Keith Whitley. And your rendition of" Don't Close your eyes." Is spot on. This has been a favorite song of mine. And you brought it back to life. Dylan Scott. All I can say is Wow!!!

Keith Whitley was one of the best. This guy does a wonderful rendition of this song
This is the best I have ever heard this song sang. You can hear the pain in his voice. Just outstanding!
This man is sooo attractive!! His voice is incredible and those eyes... Wow!!! His wife is a lucky woman to look into those eyes every night before going to sleep!!
VickiLovinmySelf you got that all right .he is absolutely gorgeous eyes body and all ,if he is married she sure is one hell of a lucky woman
I bet her eyes are dried out.. he keeps telling her not to close her eyes..
Dylan Scott great job on these Keith Whitley songs hope they can understand the true meaning of love ❤
Beautifully done by Dylan Scott. Beautiful song and great voice. Keith Whitley would approve
Honestly, this is the best version of this song for me. I'm 47 years old and I never loved country but since then I heard this song
I'm a huge fan of country music. Thanks Dylan Scott!😊
And he is also very very handsome, that doesn't hurt his career at all.
What a happy accident finding this!! I don't like most of the Keith Whitely covers of this song - but you did it justice! Deep goosies!!
I don't think many women would close their eyes with him 😍 just saying
Such a Powerful song! My fav and Of course Dylan Scott singing it makes it so much Better
Thank God!! Country is not dead...this is what country music is all about. The fact that it's a keith whitley cover just adds to this super sweet country music sundae....thank you❣️❣️❣️
Wow.. just wow, imagine a guy singing like that around your home, just for your ears and no one else's Such a beautiful voice.
Trust me to marry a man that doesn't share my love of music. If I married a guy like Dylan, he'd be singing 24/7 lol.
I used to do this for a woman. This song but Keith's version. If we went out And it played, it was time to dance and I sing it in her ear. Well... My singing must've sucked because I got cheated on. 🤷🏼♂️
@@phillipwalden5546 Sure your singing had nothing to do with it.. Keep singing, in the right ear 😉
@@phillipwalden5546 Maybe your date was tone deaf! Don't give up my friend.
Damn is he talented I’ve heard a few of his songs but he nailed this would love too hear him cut more like it I’ve always thought this song had the prettiest sounding instrumental
I loved the way you sang this song.
Keep up the good work Dylan
LOVE this song and your voice just made it AMAZING!!!!!!
Remember this song back in the day. He was a good singer . Sad he took his life 😢
It's a good song miss ya too miss my dog tired of hurting n being here uugh
Proud 90s here! 😇
Lyrics:
I know you loved him, a long time ago
Even now in my arms, you still want him I know
But darling this time, your memories die
When you hold me tonight, don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy
Darling just once, let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've, been a fool, holding on all this time
Lying here in your arms, knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping someday, that you'll see the light
Let it be tonight and don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy
Darling just once, let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him, in some fantasy
Darling just once, let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you'll ever know
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight, when you love me tonight,
And don't close your eyes
To my late almost wife. We are finally speaking after 26 yrs. And we both have said we love 💕 each other still.
What a Beautiful VOICE!!
Wow!
Cant get enough of..
Please keep sending your awesomeness my way..
I've only heard one cover of this song better than this and that was chris youngs performance at the grand ole Opry. Nice work Dylan keep the classics alive.
I disagree Chris does not do this song close to as good as Dylan does. You can feel the hurt in his voice. This is the way this song should be sung. Congratulations to Dylan for a fantastic job.
I love Dylan Scott' s song, because he is singing from the deep of his heart, touched....God bless all!
He can still sing from his heart even if it was actually written by someone else.
You nailed it. Good to see someone so young bringing back real country. You did this Keith Whitley song justice.
Listen to Chris Young doing a cover of this song. He does it for the Grand Ole Opry. It's amazing!
@Kelly Norman your negitive comments arent needed if u dont like the song or singer then skip past the song dont listen to it
To much feelings 😢😢😢I miss him so much 😢😢😢❤
Nice job. But KEITH will always be the greatest
@@lesliegriggs6981 who said he was? Lol just because you cover a song dont mean youre trying to be better or compared to the orginal artist.
Leslie Schoettmer, I agree..... Dylan has a great voice, but no one can sing like Keith Whitley and no one can fill his boots....
"Don't Close Your Eyes"
I know you loved him
A long time ago
Even now in my arms
You still want him I know
But darling this time
Let your memories die
When you hold me tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool
Holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms
Knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day
That you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
He did this live at his concert tonight.
Yeah he nailed it.

Omg, loved Keith, not too many celebrities passing effects me, but Keith, yes. Totally sucked, the day they said, he has died! Other was John Ritter!
Cindy I'm sorry people are so rude. I loved Keith Whitley and I miss him so much.
I couldn't have found someone who could nail Keith whitleys songs like Dylan Scott did. Keith definitely would be proud

We listened and danced this song over 41 yrs so much lovely memories every lyric.
Back when the singers from the country music made a list of the sexyest men in country music, the they forgot to add Dylan Scott to the list of the sexyest men in country music. When I first saw him in his music video My girl, I thought that he was so DAMNED SEXY, I haven't seen him lately, but I bet that he is still a DAMNED SEXY man.
Nice!! Every time I hear this song I think of Lori & Keith!!! So sad. A sad ending to a wonderful couple.
I have heard this song by several artists and this is the best yet. You can hear and feel the pain and that is what it takes for you to experience the essence of this song. Dylan does a great job. You nailed this one Dylan.
