Guess I never thought again I'd hear your voice
When you packed your bags and pulled out of Detroit
Yea the snowfalls are long and hard to bear
Knowin' you're down south with sunshine on your hair
You sent a postcard from Graceland when you passed through
It read, even though we lost I still love you
I keep it like a locket on a chain
I tell myself that I moved on but only half the way

And every time I close my eyes,
You're dancin' 'neath the full moon light
Your faded jeans across the hood,
My arms wrap 'round you tight and good.
And I'm wiser than I was that day,
Now I'd have some words to say,
Ones that just might make you stay with me.
That's only when I close my eyes.

Lately I've been talking to God again,
And the string of things I didn't do back then,
No doubt I'm better off having had you.
Yeah, you taught me how to love,
Taught me how to lose it too

And every time I close my eyes,
You're dancin' 'neath the full moon light
Your faded jeans across the hood,
My arms wrap 'round you tight and good.
And I'm wiser than I was that day,
Now I'd have some words to say,
Ones that just might make you stay with me.
That's only when I close my eyes.

Every time I close my eyes,
You're dancin' 'neath the full moon light
Your faded jeans across the hood,
My arms wrap 'round you tight and good.
And I'm wiser than I was that day,
Now I'd have some words to say,
Ones that just might make you stay with me.
That's only when I close my eyes.
When I close these eyes.
