Close Your Eyes to See
Melanie Seery © 2008
I remember when the Towers stood
I sometimes passed
And didn’t see them
Now when I pass where the Towers once stood
I close my eyes
And never fail to see them
Sometimes we fail
To see all that we have
Or fail to forgive or fail to remember
Open your eyes to see what is there
One day it will be gone
There is no going back
When loved ones are gone
They may be gone from our view
But loved ones live on
In our hearts and our minds
Close your eyes
They are there
Open your eyes
There is more
Your heart may get heavy
When filled with the pain
But remember the love and
The times that you shared
Your heart is not broken
Simply filled with a love
With memories and joy
Your heart overflows
Open your eyes
To see what you have
Close your eyes
To see what you had
I remember where the Towers stood
I close my eyes
And there they stand
I close my eyes
And there you are
I remember your voice
Your laughter, the tears
I remember the love
We shared through the years
I open my eyes
To see what I have
I close my eyes
To see all that I had
Always remember
To open your eyes
Before all you can do
Is close them to see
