CLOSE MY EYES SO I CAN SEE - Dreamgirl and the Motorist
(c) and (p) Dreamgirl and the Motorist 2005

I'm looking and searching but it isn't even here
I'm looking, it's not working...It isn't here

I don't know your name
But I really want to find out
I don't know your name
But I'm willing to find out
Give me your name
So I can say it out loud
I want to know your name
And I see you in the crowd

I'm looking and searching but it isn't even here
I'm looking, it's not working...You're still not here

I don't know your name
But I'm willing to find out
I don't know your name
But I really want to find out
Give me your name
So I can say it out loud
I want to know your name
And I see you in the crowd

And I'll see you today when I'm not looking
'Cause you're pointed out to me

I'll be in Sydney today and there you'll be
Standing next to me

I'll be driving my car today and there you'll be
At the lights beside me

I'll be in the supermarket today and there you'll be
In the line in front of me

I'll be in a gallery today and there you'll be
Looking at the same image as me

Looking at the same image as me

So when I stop looking, you will be there
So I close my eyes so I can see

So when I stop looking, you will be there
So I close my eyes so I can see
