"Close My Eyes" is a song featured in the 2021 film Cyrano. It is featured in the film when Christian is sent to fight a war many miles away from Roxanne, whom he married before being deployed. He expresses his longing for her and his willingness to die for her, while also feeling insecure about his lack of eloquence compared to Cyrano, who has been secretly writing love letters to Roxanne on his behalf.
Lyrics[]
Christian:
How is it I feel you closer to me
Christian & Guards:
Now that the world's between us?
Christian:
What I wouldn't do just to get some sleep
Christian & Guards:
But we're taking fire
Christian:
There are some things that my mind can't do
Christian & Guards:
The machine takes over
Christian:
I'd kill the world to get back home to you
Christian & Guards:
But I'm getting tired
Christian:
If I close my eyes,
Maybe I'll see you there
One more time
And I will give you my word
I'm so afraid, you won't believe it
And if I told you all I've done
I know it'd make you cry
So I will close my eyes
And let the falling skies
Lay down between us
Sometimes your voice is all that I can hear
Lately, it's
Christian & Guards:
Getting quiet
Christian:
It used to be so tender and near
But now it sounds
Christian & Guards:
Miles away
Christian:
Does it ever feel like this to you?
I don't know
Christian & Guards:
What to do
Christian:
If I close my eyes,
Maybe I'll see you there
One more time
And I will give you my word
I'm so afraid, you won't believe it
And if I told you all I've done
I know it'd make you cry
So I will close my eyes
And let the falling skies
Christian & Guards:
Lay down between us
Christian:
I will close my eyes
And let the falling skies
