I'm afraid that if I close my eyes
I'll miss you if you wave goodbye
My tears won't have a place to cry
If I close my eyes

I also won't know when to smile
If you return and my lids are down
I might still be in mid frown
If you come back around

So I'll keep my eyes open wide
Knowing the turning of the tide
Along with all else that I find
I won't ever close my eyes
