You can close your eyes
baby, I won't let harmful things cut you deep inside.
You can close your eyes tonight and know-
I will be there when you open those beautiful brown eyes.

You can close your eyes
and when you wake I'll tell you all about everything.
You can close your eyes
'cause tonight you can hold me and everything will be alright.

A life without you
it would be a broken heart to burst into flames.
So you can close my favorite eyes on this night,
'cause honey, you'll always have me; I'll never leave.

Listen to this lullaby for me tonight-
Listen hard because you can hear my voice.
I'll sing it all night for you and you only,
I'll sing until you close those beautiful brown eyes.

Favorite Quote:
What is depression really? Is there one concrete definition, or has the meaning loosened as our generation has continued it&#039;s downhill descent? To me, depression is simply my life. I&#039;m not suicidal. I&#039;m not a cutter. I don&#039;t hate the world. I don&#039;t dress completely in black. I&#039;m just sad. I&#039;ve been sad for what feels like my entire life, but that&#039;s not true. I was happy once and I can vaguely remember what it felt like, but I can&#039;t touch it. I can&#039;t get that happiness back, I don&#039;t know how. That&#039;s what depression is to me, knowing what happiness is, but never being able to touch it, to feel it.- Jenny Leigh
