When You Close Your Eyes
Lyrics & Music by: Carly Simon / Billy Mernit
When you close your eyes
Do you see
White Lorelei, she's a dream
She's not half as magic as she seems
But she's so much fun to be with
When you close your eyes
Do you see
Places that you've never seen
Yet you've been there
You've been walking on the edges of a dream
And you're so much fun to be with
Big surprise
You've been informed you're not asleep
Hard as you try
You were never really meant to weep
When you close your door with a sign
Do not disturb
Are you disturbed to find
That it's just as magic as it feels
And you're so much fun to be with
