Everytime I close my eyes

Written by Babyface (1997)
Performed by Babyface Featuring Mariah Carey
also performed by Kenny G Featuring Babyface

Girl, it's been a long, long time comin'
But I, I know that it's been worth the wait
It feels like springtime in winter
It feels like Christmas in June
It feels like heaven has opened up it's gates for me and you

And every time I close my eyes
I thank the lord that I've got you
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause
I don't believe it's true
That someone like you
Loves me too

Girl, I think that you're truly somethin'
And you're, you're every bit of a dream come true
With you baby, it never rains and it's no wonder
The sun always shines when I'm near you
It's just a blessing that I have found somebody like you

And every time I close my eyes
I thank the lord that I've got you
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause
I don't believe it's true
That someone like you
Loves me too

To think of all the nights
I've cried myself to sleep
You really oughtta know
How much you mean to me
It's only right that you be in my life right here with me
Oh baby, baby

And every time I close my eyes
I thank the lord that I've got you
And you've got me too
And every time I think of it
I pinch myself 'cause
I don't believe it's true
That someone like you
Loves me too

中文歌词：
每当我闭上双眼

Girl, 我们还需要很久
但我知道这等待是值得的
感觉好像冬季里的春天，好像六月的圣诞节
感觉像是天堂之门向我们打开
每当我闭上双眼
我感谢上天让我生命中有你
你生命中有我。
每当想到这些
我就掐着自己，因为我不相信这是真的
你居然会爱上我。
Girl，我知道你是真的，
你是我的梦想成真
有了你，我的世界不再下雨，这并不足为奇
当你在我身旁，总是充满阳光
这是上天的赐福，让我能找到你
每当我闭上双眼
我感谢上天让我生命中有你
你生命中有我。
每当想到这些
我就掐着自己，因为我不敢相信
你居然会爱上我。
我想了整夜，哭泣着入睡
你应该知道你对我有多重要

你要在我的生命中
和我在一起，baby
