"Everytime I close my eyes " was written and performed by singer/songwriter "Babyface" recorded in 1996 and released in 1997. It features Mariah Carey on backing vocals and Kenny G on the sax solo. This is another slow but extremely beautiful song with exceptional lyrics and again could easily be used as a wedding song.
This song reminds me of a very old friend of mine who I shared some really fun times with. I don't dedicate the lyrics to her ( obviously - that would be a tad wierd) but when I hear it..well it makes me think of the good memories we had together because this song was popular back in 1997. Unfortunately she and I are no longer friends anymore ( although she is on my facebook- she added me and I accepted ) we don't speak to eachother. Still I often wonder if the old funny crazy friend that I knew back in the day and I used to laugh with for hours still exists.
On the other hand just taking the lyrics into account I've posted them below, they are like I said..beautiful. Imagine a man singing this to his ladeh AKA Lady. Just so sweet, Babyface is a remarkable singer and even better songwriter!!
Lyrics
Girl, it's been a long, long time comin'
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait
It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up
its gates for me and you
*-
And every time I close my eyes
I thank the Lord that I've got you
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause I don't believe it's true
That someone like you loves me too, yeah
Girl, I think that you're truly somethin'
Yes, you are, and you're every bit of a dream come true
With you baby, it never rains and it's no wonder
The sun always shines when I'm near you
It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you
(repeat *)
To think of all the nights I've cried myself to sleep
You really oughta know how much you mean to me
It's only right that you be in my life
Right here with me, oh baby, baby
