I Close My Eyes - Madison Cunningham

I know her and she knows me

We’re not as young as we used to be

Chasing down the careless age

‘Till wisdom came running on faster legs

I close my eyes and dream of her

Many years ago

I close my eyes and dream of her

Many girls ago

I know her and she knows me

She is the face of my enemy

Once the future’s greatest fear

Now my reflection inside the mirror

I close my eyes and dream of her

Many years ago

I close my eyes and dream of her

And all she didn’t know

I close my eyes and dream of her

Many girls ago

I close my eyes and dream of her

Dancing in patches of sunlight

Time was an hourless friend

Oh how I wish to be that girl again

And be wiser tomorrow
