Mariah Carey - Close My Eyes lyrics

I was a wayward child

With the weight of the world

That I held deep inside

Life was a winding road

And I learned many things

Little ones shouldn`t know

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

And though time`s rolled by

Still I feel like that child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

Funny how one can learn

To grow numb to the madness

And block it away

I left the worst unsaid

Let it all dissipate

And I try to forget

As I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

And the time rolled by

Still I feel like a child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

Nearing the edge

Oblivious

I almost fell right over

A part of me

Will never be quite able

To feel stable

That woman-child falling inside

Was on the verge of fading

Thankfully, I woke up in time

Guardian angel

I sail away on an ocean

With you by my side

Orange clouds roll by

They burn into your image

And you`re still alive

As I closed my eyes

Steady my feet on the ground

Raise my head to the sky

And though time rolls by

Still I feel like a child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon
