Close Your Eyes


Your lids are getting droopy now
Your eyes are filled with pain
Wanting to be closed and resting
Needing to recharge again

I lie your head upon my lap

And touch your eyelids oh so light
Rubbing till the soothing comes
Making end of day alright

I feel your tension slowly lifting

Up then out into my hands
I take away the heaviness
Wanting never to return again

Then I notice the soft snore

And know I've done my best
My man is out of pain again
Now he's only filled with rest
