From Barry:
This is a song about a guy whose love has recently left him for someone else, and he is lamenting the loss of the woman that he is still very much in love with. Everything that he sees reminds him of her, as the lyric’s describe. This is the first of several song’s that I have recently recorded, but is unique in that I decided not to put a formal chorus in it like I typically do. I felt the layers of harmony were sufficient to make the song complete. I hope you like it.
Do you ever close your eyes and think of me?
Do you ever wonder why, why she went away?
Do you still think of her, being with him, every day?
Do you ever close your eyes and think of me?
Do you ever see her face, in the shadows of the moon?
Do you ever want her back, back in your arms again?
Do you ever close your eyes and think of me?
Do you ever count the clouds, on a lazy summer’s day?
Do you ever miss her smile, and the way, that she moved?
Do you ever close your eyes and think of me?
Do you ever close your eyes, and long to hold her tight?
Do you want to make love, all through the night, like before?
Do you ever close your eyes and think of me?
