I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten

(album: The Long And Winding Road - 1975)

It's the way you make me feel the moment I am close to you
It's a feeling so unreal somehow I can't believe it's true
The pounding I feel in my heart
The hoping that we'll never part
I can't believe this is really happening to me

I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I can't believe that you're still here

It isn't the way that you look
And it isn't the way that you talk
And it isn't the things that you say or do
That makes me want you so

It isn't the music and wine
It has nothing to do with the wine
Or the music that's flooding my mind
And never before have I felt so sure
You're the someone I'd dream I would find

But the way you make me feel the moment I am close to you
Makes the day seem so unreal somehow I can't believe it's true
Tomorrow will you still be here
Tomorrow will come but I fear
That what is happening to me is only a dream

I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count again
I cant believe it but you're still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
I close my eyes and count to ten
And when I open them you're still here
