itsverycool Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 New here, first post. Hope this isn't too random! I was listening to Mariah's 1997 Butterfly album the other day and remembered how much I love the song Close My Eyes. I'd love to hear Britney cover this song. Seems like it's sung in a lower register, closer to what Britney does best and the lyrics/theme of the song I think are so relable. It's melancholy but hopeful. I'm pasting the lyrics here too. Thoughts? Too random?! LYRICS I was wayward child With the weight of the world That I held deep inside Life was a winding road And I learned many things Little ones shouldn't know [Chorus:] But I closed my eyes Steadied my feet on the ground Raised my head to the sky And though time's rolled by Still feel like a child As I look at the moon Maybe I grew up A little too soon Funny how one can learn To grow numb to the madness And block it away I left the worst unsaid Let it all dissipate And I try to forget [Chorus] Nearing the edge Obvious I almost Fell right over A part of me Will never be quite able To feel stable That woman-child falling inside Was on the verge of fading Thankfully I Woke up in time Guardian angel I Sail away on an ocean With you by my side Orange clouds roll by They burn into your image And you're still alive (You're always alive) [Chorus] Link to comment
