Lyrics

IF I CLOSE MY EYES

JIM PURTELL
855 Lagoon St., Unit B, Ft. Myers Beach, FL 33931 - 239-463-7855 - joeypurtell@yahoo.com



I walk through the snow drifts seeing white sand
Snowplows sound like my favorite beach band
This frozen lake turned into Lover's Key
If I close my eyes I see manatees

Caloosahatchee, you run through my dreams
A shot of Margaritaville is what I need
Want to make like a seabird and fly away
If I close my eyes I feel the hot rays

Why did I leave this place that I love
I don't know what I was thinking of
These homesick blues, the worst I ever knew
I miss, I miss everything about you

Nothing like the mellow feel of a tiki bar
In floats the sound of Joey's guitar
Thought I caught your gulf scent in the air
If I close my eyes I'm in Times Square

Can't wait to get to Matlacha
Toes in the sand, eating shrimp all day
Want to hear your waves crashing on the phone
If I close my eyes I'm already home

REPEAT CHORUS

If I close my eyes
If I close my eyes
