Not really being a metal or rock fan in my younger years this was the first ozzie track I had ever taken notice of and liked. As I’ve said before I used listen to a lot of US chart music and this is where I heard this one. It’s a really cool song.

I think it may have been a no1 or no2 in the US.

It never even rasied it head over here in the uk.


Close My Eyes Forever
Written by Lita Ford & Ozzy Osbourne
Duet with Ozzy Osbourne
Produced by Mike Chapman
Released on 'Lita' (1988)
Also released as a single A-side with "Under The Gun" (1989)
Also released on 'The Best Of Lita Ford' (1992) & 'Greatest Hits Live' (2000)

Baby, I get so scared inside
And I don't really understand
Is it love that's on my mind
Or is it fantasy.

Heaven is in the palm of my hand
And it's waiting here for you
What am I supposed to do
With a childhood tragedy.

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same.

Sometimes it's hard to hold on
So hard to hold on to my dreams
It isn't always what it seems
When you're face to face with me.

You're like a dagger and stick me in the heart
And taste the blood from my blade
And when we sleep would you shelter me
In your warm and darkened grave.

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remained unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same.
Will you ever take me

No, I just can't take the pain
But would you ever trust me
No, I'll never feel the same, Oh.

I know I've been so hard on you
I know I've told you lies
If I could have just one more wish
I'd wipe the cobwebs from my eyes.

If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remained unchanged
If I close my eyes forever
Will it all remain the same.
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
You gotta close your eyes for me.

Close Your Eyes Forever, is a great 80's Rock Ballad. MTV made me a Lita Ford fan with "Kiss Me Deadly", so this tune got lots of play too.

Here's a link if you want to listen it.

I have always been a fan of rock music, and my fave genre is the 80s but I must say, this is a beautiful song, but it doesnt make any sense to me. It never has. If anyone could explain what they think it means, I would enjoy that. And if you know for sure what the song is supposed to mean, please say that if you respond.

I think its up to the person listening what is the meaning. To me it signifies the end of something like a relationship or something like that...
