Evocative, wistful, poetic & profound, Close My Eyes opens the heart & the mind ; its lyrical depth achieves a rare beauty that elevates Mariah's artistry to the highest standards of modern R&B ....
Another deep cut masterpiece!

"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"
Story of my freaking life really..... 💔
First time I heard this song, I felt like crying my eyes out.

Mariah is Freakin' Amazing, her talent is one in a Billion.. Or should i say she's The Only One..

THE LYRICS! Besides her VOICE! That is one of the most beautiful that has ever sounded on earth! Are her lyrics! You can relate to them, they create a connection that resonates inside you and at the end... You are healed! She saved me once! I'm eternally grateful for that!

I could never thank her enough for giving this to me! A guardian angel.

LYRICS
I was 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
[Chorus:]
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 a 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
[Chorus]
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
(You're always alive)
[Chorus]

I can't even express the relevance this classic has to every part of my life.
Thank you Nanny (RIP) for loving this album and many more with me and always being the loving support I never had at home.
You were the only other mama I ever had.
I miss you.
When the pain of growing up and finding sense of self was so painful in a horribly dysfunctional and abusive home-
I would turn to this song....and Nanny....
.... and close my eyes.

I listened to the audio version of her memoir and starting crying as soon as she started singing this. The Mariah effect ✨✨

No one will ever really know the real struggles this woman actually went and are still going through , i actually feel this song is so much deeper than we realise .but inspite of everything we go through we'll find our saving grace in God. I wish you well Mariah and admire you for your strength.🤞

Who’s here after GMA performance!!! 2020 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yes bitch, I'm here because of her GMA performance and I'm also here to make a statement of my own opinion (but it's a fact) just a brief little reminder to help you guys remember, that Mariah Carey is undeniably one of the greatest yet underrated singer-songwriters out there

I feel like an angel singing beside me...

One of Mariah's best songs. I'll never understand why she wasn't inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She's the lyricist of our generation.
