LYRICS
You Can Close Your Eyes by James Taylor
Well, the sun is surely sinkin’ down
But the moon is slowly risin’
So this old world must still be spinnin’ ’round
Yes, and I still love you
So close your eyes
You can close your eyes
It’s all right
I don’t know no love songs
And I can’t sing the blues anymore
Yes, but I can sing this song
And you can sing this song when I’m gone
It won’t be long before another day
We’re gonna have a good time
And no one’s gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like
Only close your eyes
You can close your eyes
It’s all right
Oh, I don’t know no love songs
And I can’t sing the blues anymore
Sure, but I can sing this song
Yes, and you can sing this song when I’m gone

Yet young of heart.. Try and if you could only turn it around . Feel better... I've been listening since I was a kid . Music never gets old. it's just better understood as we grow older, ... hopefully

JT is in my opinion the finest artist of my generation! He has the entire package. A phenomenal singer, guitarist and songwriter. This is so rare today but I feel so blessed to have followed JT from the early 70’s until this day! What a ride it’s been to watch this incredible talent evolve! Well done JT and thank you!

Love this video of Peter my friend. He was the first Jamaican player to accept me and trust my judgments. Peter and Carl Brown were funny men. They welcomed my son Max with open arms! Still sad all these years.
