🎤 Lyrics: Keith Whitley - Don't Close Your Eyes

[Verse 1]
I know you loved him a long time ago
Even now in my arms, you still want him I know
But darling this time, let your memories die
When you hold me tonight, don't close your eyes

[Chorus]
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

[Verse 2]
Maybe I've been a fool holding on all this time
Lying here in your arms, knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping someday that you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight, don't close your eyes

[Chorus]
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

[Chorus]
Don't close your eyes, let it be me
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy
Darling just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love than you've ever known
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

Closing out our #ThrowbackWeekend with an ultimate classic, this 1988 signature hit from the one and only Keith Whitley.

*_Question:_*_ What is your favorite 80's song?_

[fannyferreira]

2024, there's anyone there enjoying this wonderful song 🎵

[ChArLi_.o]

My grandpa plays this song on his guitar and sings it to me, because he knows it’s my favorite out of the ones he likes to sing. But since he is getting older, he can’t play it as easily anymore. So I learned it, and I play it for him now so he can sing. This song always brings me to tears. ❤

[mock]

I wondered how many people have felt these emotions in 21st century ... beautiful lyrics for people who have truly loved someone

[kathryn]

The thing I don’t get is I always closed my eyes and I was in love with my sweet husband until he passed away too soon. It’s been a year and I realize I will die a widow because no one could ever fill his shoes. I live with such wonderful memories of our 57 years together. It comforts my heart to know, he will always be near watching over me. Of course it’s impossible to know until you make your journey there, but if it’s possible I know my sweet Sammy is watching over and praying for me🙏

[sanctuspiox]

This song is a masterpiece and it always will be! It’s been 22 years now that my wife left me and our tiny little babies…I knew she was having an affair and I just wanted it to be a bad nightmare! Yes I was a fool, but I hoped upon hope that she would stay and we could be a family….ohhhh God I still love her.

[xfuvurn]

One thing is for sure, Keith Whiley was a great country singer. He had a beautiful voice. Yes, he had demons that brought his demise Rest in peace.

This song hit me different after a breakup I went through exactly what he is singing about one of the greatest songs ever

[kennethvoller]

This man was such a treasure with his voice.

[amandachristine]

A beautiful soul just told me to listen to this. I’ve never been with him in this way but I’m thinking about it. He’s apparently more observant than I ever gave him credit for. Makes me cry. If anyone can take my walls down and help facilitate my healing process, it’s him. Beautiful song
