The Day You Closed Your Eyes

First Verse
Why do the realest moments
seem the most surreal?
Why is there numbness,
the stronger we feel?

Why do we cry until we laugh
and laugh until we cry.
I’m not askin’ for much,
I just have a lot of why’s.

Chorus
The day you closed your eyes,
we didn’t know what to do.
The day you closed your eyes,
ours filled with tears for you.

The day you closed your eyes,
we shared memories with smiles.
Now there’s one I would like to forget,
the day you closed your eyes.

Second Verse
There are some normal moments,
like nothing happened at all.
Until something pulls me back,
and you’re still really gone.

Sometimes I’ll forget that we can’t text
a daily “good morning”
Or meet for brunch to discuss
kids and events worth reporting.

Chorus
The day you closed your eyes.
we didn’t know what to do.
The day you closed your eyes
ours filled with tears for you.

The day you closed your eyes
a grey took over our skies.
Hard to picture the sun again,
since the day you closed your eyes.

Bridge
They say time heals all wounds,
when there’s nothing left to say.
But, some wounds never heal,
the sting just fades away.

Chorus
The day you closed your eyes,
we didn’t know what to do.
The day you closed your eyes,
ours filled with tears for you.

From silent goodbyes
and nights full of sighs,
my whole world changed
the day you closed your eyes.
