- Don't Close Your Eyes LyricsSongwriters: Purnell, Donnie; Halligan, Bob (Jr); Palumbo, John;
Whatcha doing out in the night time?
Why'd ya call me on the phone?
Your mama can't solve your problems
When's daddy, ever get home?
So you did your little move and cried
In the middle of a suicide
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't sing your last lullaby
There's no one there to hold you
No one hears your scream
You live life up and down now
Your nightmares are your dreams
I know it's lonely when your hanging 'round
Don't ya take it lying down, no, no
Hold on, hold on tight
I'll make everything all right
Wake up don't go to sleep
I'll pray the Lord your soul to keep
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't sing your last lullaby
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't sing your last lullaby
Whatcha doing out in the night time?
Why'd ya call me on the phone?
Your mama can't solve your problems
When's daddy, ever get home?
So you did your little move and cried
In the middle of a suicide
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't sing your last lullaby
There's no one there to hold you
No one hears your scream
You live life up and down now
I know it's lonely when your hanging 'round
Don't ya take it lying down, no, no
Hold on, hold on tight
I'll make everything all right
Wake up don't go to sleep
I'll pray the Lord your soul to keep
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't sing your last lullaby
Don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes
Don't sing your last lullaby

Not too many years after this song came out, I was 20 and a good friend of mine took his life over a girl. I will always wonder why he didn't call me.
