C   D
I know you loved her
            G
A long time ago
                C   D
Even now in my arms
                      G
You still want her I know

But darlin this time
Let your memories die
When you hold me tonight
Don't close your eyes

Chorus-

                   C
Don't close your eyes
           D
Let it be me
                   G
Don't pretend its her
     D        Em
In some fantasy
               C
Darlin' just once
                   D
Let yesterday just go
                       G
And you'll find more love
      D             Em
Than you've ever known
                C
Just hold me tight
                    D (don't strum)
When you love me tonight
                   G
Don't close your eyes

Maybe i've been a fool
Holding on all this time
Lying here in your arms
knowing she'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

Chorus-
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend its her
In some fantasy
Darlin' just once
Let yesterday just go
And you'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
Don't close your eyes

Chorus-
Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend its him
In some fantasy
Darlin' just once
Let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
Don't close your eyes
