The transcript captures the full lyrical content of an acoustic cover of Keith Whitley's song "Don't Close Your Eyes." The narrator pleads with a lover to stay present and not shut out their love, urging them to let go of past fantasies and memories. Repeated refrains emphasize the request to keep eyes open, to hold tightly, and to let the narrator be the one who provides love and light. The lyrics weave themes of longing, hope, and a desire to replace an imagined former lover with a genuine, present connection.

Chapters

But darling, this time let your memories die when you hold me tonight. Don't close your eyes. Don't close your eyes. Let it be. Me, and don't pretend it's him in some fantasy. And darling, just once let yesterday go, and you'll find more love than you've ever known. Just hold me tight when you love me tonight, and don't close your eyes. Maybe I've been a fool holding on all this time, lying here in your arms knowing he's on your mind. But I keep hoping someday that you'll see the light. Let it be me tonight. Don't close your eyes. Don't close your eyes. Let it be me. Don't pretend And it's him in some fantasy. And darling, just once, let yesterday go. And you'll find more love than you've ever known. Just hold me tight when you love me tonight. And don't close your eyes. Don't close your eyes. Let it be me, and don't pretend it's him in some fantasy. And darling, just once, let yesterday go, and you'll find more love than you've ever known. Just hold me tight when you love me tonight, and don't close your eyes. Just hold me tight when you love me tonight. Don't close your eyes.
