We close our eyes 
We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around again 
 
When everybody is running in the big race 
And having a good time 
Who am I to cast a shadow 
Who am I? 
I looked Death in the face last night 
I saw him in a mirror 
And he simply smiled 
He told me not to worry 
He told me just to take my time 
 
Chorus: 
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again 
We close our eyes and dream and another year has come and gone 
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again 
We close our eyes and dream ... 
 
And if you come to me 
And if you touch my hand 
I might just slip away 
I might just disappear 
Who am I? 
And if you think I'm worth it 
And if you think it's not too late 
We might start falling 
If we don't try to hard 
We might start falling in love 
 
(Chorus) 
 
We're on the healing path 
We're on a roller coaster ride 
That could never turn back 
And if you love me 
And if you really try 
To make the seconds count 
Then we can close our eyes 
 
(chorus) 
 
We close our eyes and the world has turned around again
