MAYBE IF I CLOSE MY EYES (IT WILL GO AWAY)
(Buck Owens)


Buck Owens - 1969
Jean Shepard - 1969
Susan Raye - 1970
Tony Booth - 1972





Maybe if I close my eyes, it will go away
If I pretend there never was a thing 'tween you and me
For I can't sleep and I can't eat it, haunts me night and day
But maybe if I close my eyes, it will go away

You say you're a fascination that I will soon forget
That it won't be long and I'll forget you ever did exist
But when I love, I really love, yes, I go all the way
But maybe if I close my eyes, it will go away

You say that I must accept the truth, that you're not coming back
Be reasonable, act my age and face up to the fact
But when I love, I really love, yes, I go all the way
But maybe if I close my eyes, it will go away
