I know you loved him

A long time ago

Even now in my arms

You still want him I know

But Darlin' this time
G Em
Let your memories die
C D
When you hold me tonight,
G
Don't close your eyes...

Don't Close your eyes, let it be me
G Em
Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy

Darlin' just once, let yesterday go

And You'll find more love than you've ever known
C D
Just hold me tight when you hold me tonight
G (repeat intro)
And Don't close your eyes
(Second verse is just like first verse)
Maybe I've been a fool, holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms, knowin' he's in your mind
but I keep hoping someday, that you'll see the light
let it be me tonight, Don't close your eyes...
(repeat Chorus twice)

Just hold me tight when you love me tonight

And Don't close your eyes
