My Eyes When Closed Are Yours

No I don't know how you feel,
When you're alone.
No I don't know what to say,
Or do...
While we're miles apart.

All I want and wish is this for you,
To come to realize...
My eyes,
When closed...
Are yours to keep.

No I don't know how you feel,
When you're there alone.
No I don't know what to say,
Or do...
At times like this.

All I want and wish for you,
To come to realize...
My eyes when open,
Never leave your side.
And when closed in my dreams,
They're on you forever...
To keep.
