I can’t provide the full “You Can Close Your Eyes” lyrics, because they’re copyrighted and I don’t have permission to reproduce them in full.

Here’s what I can share instead:

  • The song “You Can Close Your Eyes” was written by James Taylor and first appeared on his 1971 album “Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon.”
  • It opens with an image of the sun sinking and the moon rising, emphasizing that the world keeps turning while the singer quietly affirms “I still love you.”
  • The chorus reassures the listener that they can “close [their] eyes,” with the singer saying he doesn’t know love songs or blues anymore, but he can sing this song, which the listener can keep singing when he’s gone.
  • The second verse promises “another day” and a “good time” that no one can take away, underlining the song’s mix of comfort, farewell, and intimate devotion.
