Close My Eyes Lyrics - Butterfly - Mariah Carey

Verse 1 

I was wayward child 

With the weight of the world 

That i held deep inside 

Life was a winding road 

And i learned many things 

Little ones shouldn't know 

Chorus 1 

But i closed my eyes 

Steadied my feet on the ground 

Raised my head to the sky 

And though time's rolled by 

Still feel like that child 

As i look at the monn 

Maybe i grew up 

A little too soon 

Verse 2 

Funny how one can learn 

To grow numb to the madness 

And block it away 

I left the worst unsaid 

Let it all dissipate 

And i try to forget 

Chorus 2 

But i closed my eyes 

Steadied my feet on the ground 

Raised my head to the sky 

And though time's rolled by 

Still feel like that child 

As i look at the monn 

Maybe i grew up 

A little too soon 

Bridge 

Nearing the edge 

Oblivious i almost 

Fell right over 

A part of me 

Will never be quite able 

To feel stable 

That woman-child falling inside 

Was on the verge of fading 

Thankfully i 

Woke up in time 

Verse 3 

Guardian angel i 

Sail away on an ocean 

With you by my side 

Orange clouds roll by 

They burn into your image 

And you're still alive 

(you're always alive) 

Chorus 3 

But i closed my eyes 

Steadied my feet on the ground 

Raise my head to the sky 

And though time's rolls by 

Still feel like that child 

As i look at the monn 

Maybe i grew up 

A little too soon
