Black



When you close your eyes what do you see? Loneliness cause your looking for me!
Open them is your world still bright?
Sun still shining ,
can you see the light?

With eyes wide open our love had vision.
But  closing them was your decision!
When you close them at night ,do you still see black! Do you still see Black?

The world keeps turning and time never stops!
For me it sits still as I roll back the clock!
I try to see only the good but it’s hard not to see , the ugly.

With eyes wide open our love had vision.
But  closing them was your decision!
And when you close them at night do you still see black ! Do you still see black?

So Dream a lil dream try to see me! Remember what you lost babe,
The  past won’t set you free!
She’s there I’m not our loves on hold!
I let you go that move was bold!

 So When you close them at night ,do you still see black? Do you still see Black?
