I heard Sarah's version of this beautiful love song that I secretly dedicated to a lost loved one. I heard it as a bolero and I think it lent itself quite nicely to this treatment and gave it a breezy Brazillian vibe.

I'll close my eyes,
to everyone but you.
And, when I do,
I'll see you standing there.

I'll lock my heart,
to any other carress,
I'll never say yes,
to a new love affair.

I'll close my eyes,
to everything that's bright and gay,
if you're not here,
to spend each lovely day.
And, through the years,
those moments when we're apart,
I'll Close My Eyes,
and see you in my heart.
