Close Your Eyes and Remember Songtext
von Minnie Riperton

Blowing softly through a meadow
Laughing like a baby, breeze
Tapping lightly at the treetops
Whispering among the leaves

You hear the magic song that ancient poets sing, yeah
It′s sweet as morning dew, and sounds a lot like springtime
(When you close your eyes), you feel your heart go there
So close your eyes, and you may find that

Fireflies were as bright as stars
Close your eyes and remember
Summer time lingered on and on
Close your eyes and remember

Your first love made the world stand still
Close your eyes and remember
Close your eyes and remember, remember (remember when)


The moon was made of cheese
Racing swiftly through the mountains
Bubbling along the stream (along the stream...)
Sighing sweetly through the hollow
Gentle as an infant's dream (baby′s dream, baby's dream...)

You hear the magic song that ancient poets sing, yeah
It's sweet as morning dew, and sounds a lot like springtime
(When you close your eyes), you feel your heart go there
So close your eyes, and you may find that

(Fireflies) fireflies were as bright as stars
Close your eyes and remember
Summer time lingered on and on
Close your eyes and remember

Get asleep
Close your eyes and remember
Fireflies
Close your eyes and remember
Summer time
Close your eyes and remember
