James Taylor - You Can Close Your Eyes Lyrics

THX THIS SONG HELPS ME RELAX AT THE DOCTOR WHEN I GET NEEDIES OR SHOTS

it's allright

It would’ve been brutal to love him.

My mom sang this to me when I was little. Looked it up on a whim. Instant tears

You can sing this song when I'm gone.

Such beautiful messages I’ve read on this thread today. My heart goes out to all that have passed.

I miss you Rick, I still love you Rick ❣️

imm gone

RIP Dad.....i miss you so much.

Bawlin... Jesus Christ I wasn't ready for this.. :'(

The final good night song, a masterpiece of emotion and reality. God bless all those who have closed their eyes to this world..❤️😎

I still love you

Oh my sweet Murphy bear (dog)
You can close your eyes, it's alright

This is my favorite James Taylor song. I wish it had about 20 verses so that I could enjoy it for a longer time.

I will take my guitar off the wall in a while and play the only song that i can still play.

His absolute BEST song...

I sing this song everyday, too good my bradm James.

Beautiful song...thank you for sharing

Yesterday july 5th I said goodbye to my friend at Church. He picked this song to be played for all of us in Church. So wonderful and touching at the same time.
You can close your eyes........

James has a one of kind voice - always stirs up great memories.

I used this song in a video I made about my dog who passed over in December 2018. I miss her every day.

This song kills me. Dad used to sing it when I was young and for some reason I cried hard every single time. I remember him looking down at my tucking me in and me crying. I will never forget it. I always cry hearing these lyrics still, 20 years later. It's a gift and a curse

I was thinking of my dog who passed in December tonight. This song popped into my head. No disrespect to people but I loved my dog.

Best version of this great song here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wiLkKW_FGXI

Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Thank you James Taylor.

My dad used to play the video of James and Carly Simon singing this song every night before bedtime when I was very little and I’d ask him to play this song (and James’s performance of jelly man kelly from Sesame Street) over and over again. Both of my parents are huge James Taylor fans, and they have both told me that when I was about 2 or 3 years old I would never be able to fall asleep without listening to this song. Now all these years later, I got to see James Taylor for the first time live in concert with my Dad last summer right before my 15th birthday. He closed the show by singing a duet of this song with Bonnie Raitt (another one of my favorite songwriters). Seeing him live was like a dream come true. His music has always been such a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember and it always will be.

“You may have started as my daughter, but it was always understood that one day you would be a wife, mother, and contributor to this Messiah's kingdom. I will never ask anything from you again, but an entire world will.

Rest, tomorrow is another day, Dad

Masterpiece!!!

Just heard James sing this with Bonnie Raitt last night at their concert in Providence, RI. A night of musical magic!

My mom sang this to me as a kid. It is the first song I can remember. It was always hard for me to go to sleep or relax and this song brought me peace. It means the world to me. I apologize for how stupid and sentimental that sounds, but it has meaning beyond meaning to me.

I know this is a stupid hope, but one day, I hope to sing this song on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert after my interview with him about the movie I'm in. One day.

I feel as if no one will ever know how much this song means to me.

My Dad used to sing this to my siblings and me as a lullaby. He also used to sing sweet baby James as a lullaby too.

This song has a new meaning since my Mom just passed over.. Thankyou for this.. 😓

Tami Yomes so sorry for your loss

Thanks so much for posting this STILL amazing tune. Wow.

One of my favorites!!

I just can't listen to this song all the way through, brings back memories

How many singers/songwriters can start playing a song that instantly moves you? I dont mean that you think "this is a great song", I mean REALLY moves you. It's like going to church. I dont know what it is about JT but he has a gift. In a world where garbage, auto tuned music is valued I'm really happy that true artists like James Taylor are still really valued and appreciated.

I miss my mom!! Love and miss you everyday.

mud slide slim has stood the test of time ! modern music is crap but then I'm old x

My dog passed away today. I've always loved this song and it's helped me through the worst times, and it'll help me through this one too.

How can anyone give this beautiful song a thumbs down?

Curious if any one other than me who has seen this musical genius live spends most of the concert in tears? His music just gets to me and gets me. I was lucky to be at the first game of the 2018 World Series in Boston and he sang the national anthem and my brother and I were grinning so much.

this is the best song ever . by the best singer songwriter ever

That was the best!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Hi love how are you going from Gaylee Corbett Private 11 Wotton Street Aitkenvale Townsville Queensland Australia phone number is 0484332174😗☺💖

Beautiful and timeless ❤️

With my hectic Oregon life (at times) ........... good 'ol James (my former neighbor's Nephew) brings a spoonful of comfort back to my weary way!  I always add some Allison Krauss to enliven my hunger for the female touch.  Wow!  Sometimes I border on tearing up 'cuz the softer stuff reminds me of less hectic times.  Friends ........ vacations at the Trinity Alps of CA; Glaciert Ntl. Park, etc.  * Cav *

Ugh.... I SO miss you ❤️

i miss you Melony.

Awesome, the wonderful JT!

how can somebody write words like this?

I have cancer and this is the song that I want at my funeral. Sorry James. You have to stop writing tunes that mean so much to me. I live in Acton ma. Your music h as made me live this long. You are the boy that has ties here. I always loved my Boston friends. Thank you James!

I hope that’s not for a long time! Fight child, you can do this!

편히 쉬십시오. 노회찬 의원님

노회찬 의원님 그동안 고마웠습니다. 안녕히주무세요

My mother sent me this song... Makes me cry every time I hear it..

노회찬 의원님 지금은 평안하신가요? 많은 사람들이 허탈해하고 슬퍼하는 모습을 보고 계신가요?
하루종일 넋을 놓고 일을 손에 잡지 못한 채 보냈답니다
왜 그러셨느냐고 원망하는 마음도 있습니다
그동안 고생많으셨습니다 저 세상에서는 편안하게 보내시길 기도드립니다

Norman Brown brought me here.

Simple stuff ...... nice weather; friendship; a sweet tune.  'Ya 'gotta love it all!  James Taylor says it right; we enjoy.  It's that simple!  Besides -- he's the Nephew of my former neighbor on Shady Lane, Ross, CA late 1960s!  * Cav *

I'm 29 and play guitar, and I have to admit it makes me feel pretty cool to love this music, when most people my age have never even heard of it.

mattlawson714 I agree. I’m 33. My dad was a professional musician, played guitar, his favorite musician was James Taylor, and his birthday was July 14th.

Makes you want to go back to that time.

JT is so special to me, because he has, after he was famous, done tiny little 100 persons concerts. I attended one after my firstborn. I was tied to him, nursing, but I got ready and went to the concert, being hormonal I cried throughout. I will never never forget it.

Could there be a better love song? I say no.

A love song, not a dying song. Puh-leeze people!

I sing this every night to my unborn son while playing the piano. Can't wait until he is born and I will continue to sing it to him each night before bed.

You can always stay as long as you like, my queen.

As love songs go, this is one of the best ones so says me.

Very recently I found this piece of gem in here. And I just fell in love with it , can't stop listening. A great song to cherish.

Well the sun is surely sinking down, but the moon is slowly rising.
So this old world must still be spinning round and I still love you.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.

It won't be long before another day, we gonna have a good time.
And no one's gonna take that time away. You can stay as long as you like.

So close your eyes, you can close your eyes, it's all right.
I don't know no love songs and I can't sing the blues anymore.
But I can sing this song and you can sing this song when I'm gone.

I lost my dad sept 27th 2017 and this is the song his friend and brother played at his funeral. rest in heaven daddy

So sorry for your loss, Rest in Peace to your Father

This song breaks my heart!

I listened to this song when I rocked, nursed& sang to my 2 babies . Now they are 26 & 28 they are grown but those memories will stay with me forever...Your music is so beautiful James, thank you so much....

I don't know a better lullaby than anything created by James Taylor

My mother sang this to me when I was little along with "Sweet Baby James " and I can remember very vividly asking her to sing this before we went to sleep. Now, I sing it to my son to go to sleep at night just like my parents did with me. I know every one of James Taylor's songs word for word and adore his music. I hope that I can teach my son his songs and he likes them as much as I do. Who knows, maybe he will song them to his children one day.

Fuck you killer seo

I was looking my dad's facebook because I missed him. He posted this song in 2013 and died in 2015. I will always miss him. <3

My dads good friend sang and played this song on the guitar at his wake. I cannot listen to this song without it bringing me to tears

Reminds me of my dad too 😔 hugs for everyone

It is a great song

Im sorry for you

May he rest in peace, brother.

I want to kill myself. When I get the urge I listen to this song. It reminds me of the people who love me and the people I love.

Woody11185 Hold on tight buddy. God loves you

Thank you, I'm still here.

We all love you. Be strong!

I've been there, Woody. Someone much wiser than myself said "suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem". Truer words were never spoken. Please stay with us.

Woody, there are better days ahead. I tried and failed in the late 60' s hard times for years, no peace, for 30 years now i have a peaceful life, peace of MIND. If you want to text me, fine with me. Faith and hope to you.

I sing this tonight. song is personal to me...i hope I can get through it

I just saw your post, Mark. I truly hope you got through it.

I listen to this song just to remember my family. I miss them all so much and I can't help but sob the whole song

James Taylor's the man. And he also wrote my favorite love song. (This one)

My daughter chose this for her first song with her husband.  It was beautiful.  Thank you James.

the episode of wonder year where Kevin failing math...and his dad helps him late one night...this was played

played this at my dad and moms funeral (harley accident) still cry after 21 yrs

So sad for your loss, but you're lucky to have been so close to your parents. Many of us will never know that.

I've been a James Taylor fan for years, but for whatever reason, I hadn't heard this particular song from roughly 10 years ago to this week. It was on a CD my family had when I was a young kid, but it was forever lost. I remembered many songs, but I forgot about this one and a few others. They are beautiful songs and I wish they had not disappeared from my memory until just now (but now that I hear them again I do recognize them and remember them).
