Lyrics

Close Your Eyes ?

Music and Lyrics by Roxanne Redd


Sometimes at night when you're ready for bed
Your imagination stays up instead
It can play tricks on you - you better beware
you might see things that just aren't there

You think you saw a monster head
Peeking from behind the door
or under your bed
You made him all up in your head
and you can do the same to make him disappear

Close your eyes
There's nothing to be scared of
There's nothing there
Close your eyes
There's nothing to be scared of
There's nothing there

When the lights go out you see many shapes
But you are in charge of the form they take
The big monster charging down the hall
Is really just a shadow of your puppy on the wall

Now the time you spend laying in bed
can even make you laugh - it's all in your head
Use your imagination for fun
And you'll have good dreams all night long

Close your eyes
See marshmellow clouds
And chocolate skies
Close your eyes
See pokka dot cars driving
on candy bars

The next time - you start to feel scared
go turn on your light ? you'll see there's nothing there
and put on your favorite song
and soon the scarey feeling's gone

If that doesn't help go get your mom or dad
There's no time to wait
don't lay there feeling bad
Everybody needs someone sometimes
to tell them everything's alright and to.....

Close your eyes
See a dancing kangaroo
wearing tap shoes
Oh close your eyes
See candy cane trees
and a lady bug ski

Close your eyes
There's nothing to be scared of
There's nothing there
Close your eyes
There's nothing to be scared of
There's nothing there

Oh close your eyes
See marshmellow clouds
And chocolate skies
Oh close your eyes
See pokka dot cars driving
on candy bars

(Fade out with chorus)
