Close my eyes and think of you

Go to sleep and dream of you

We don't get to be here long

I gave you the best of me

Loved you more than anything

But we don't get to be here long

We don't get to be here long.

Though my heart may be in pieces

My eyes are still set on you

And though I can't keep it together

I know that you'd want me to.

Oh, I'm swimming in the grief

And there's no anchor that could hold me down

I don't want any relief

Cause I don't wanna let you go right now.

Close my eyes and think of you

Go to sleep and dream of you

We don't get to be here long

I gave you the best of me

Loved you more than anything

But we don't get to be here long.

Oh your moments were a charity

They gave me more than I could lose

Oh I know you found the promise land

But I'm still here and I'm missing you.

Close my eyes and think of you

Go to sleep and dream of you

We don't get to be here long

I gave you the best of me

Loved you more than anything

But we don't get to be here long.

When the day comes

And the fire is out

I wanna know that

I gave you all, I gave you all I had

When the day comes

And the fire is out

I wanna know that

I gave you my everything.

Close my eyes and think of you

Go to sleep and dream of you

We don't get to be here long

I gave you the best of me

Loved you more than anything

But we don't get to be here long

Oh, we don't get to be here long.

We don't get to be here long.
