Belief it or not I use this song after missions every-night in Afghanistan in 2004 to relax my mind, reset and separate myself from any issues. This song save my mind!!
My mother loved Anita Baker. In fact, Anita made this album in memory of her own dearly departed mother. My mother drew her last breath to this song. My hand on her heart on one side of her bed. Her sister held her hand on her other side. The room was dark and quiet... except the cooing sounds of Ms. Baker... I will never forget
Anita Baker. Singer. 'Nuff said. Recently announced her retirement from music / performing on social media. Thank you for the memories, thank you for sharing your gift-blessings with the rest of us. Wishing you God's continued grace and blessings. Thanks for the upload, clash1954.
Ms.Anita Baker stands alone,no voice has ever been better,the silkness,soul,heart that she puts into her music makes her one of a kind.love this song,thank you
I'm back listening in 2023 and she still speaks to me and my soul mate's spirits. It is truly when we close our eyes that we can feel with our heart and see the true depth of love . 😘💋
Michael Reynolds you are right about what you said about this song and her voice. This is one of her BEST SONGS and i can't figure out why it NEVER GOT ANY AIR PLAY!
When I first heard this song I was like WAIT!! MOM YOU BEEN HOLDING OUT lol I heard every song as a child but this. This is my top 3 favorite songs of all time. Thank God for music like this 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I loved this song as soon as I heard it. My heart just melted and cried, I just took the whole song in and just rocked gently with the rhythm. I love how she lead and background vocals, its just a Masterpiece of excellent work. OH, and let's not forget the piano player.... whoever it is, they really know how to compromise with her voice, they blend together..... HEAVENLY !!!! Anita, I know you're working on something new, we're waiting and we miss you.
Hello Ra Ra , i'm glad to hear your response to my comment about this song. And also its GREAT to know that there is someone out there who has a musical ear,because I don't listen to this Junk they call music. Its also sad that these so called Record Executives who con those artists who Really have talent into believing that they have their backs. But their only concern is how much money the artist can make for the company. Its just so sad.
I agree wholeheartedly with you. When I first heard this song, it instantly became my song of the day! Every time I hear this song, I just have to stop everything that I'm doing and get lost in this song. It's a musical masterpiece that cannot be touched because it's just that perfect. I guess that's why I'm stuck in the 80's and 90's and SOME of the early 00's, the music was so much better then. It was about the voice and not the gimmicks. Give me artists that only needs music and a mic stand. Stand there and give me the voice. I don't want anything that takes away from the voice. But sadly, we don't live in that day and age anymore. Do you know where I can find some more voices like Barry, Issac, and Luther on RU-vid? I need more real male voices.
Hello silverwing0076 , i'm not sure if I match the voices of Luther,Barry or Issac. But I can turn you on to other OLE SCHOOL coroners, like Lou Rawls, Johnny Taylor, Billy Paul, Peabo Bryson, Teddy Pendergrass, just to name a few. Even Johnny Mathis, a lot of Blacks didn't get onto Johnny from what I know, though I could be wrong, but i like his music. Just explore all ole school music as far back as you can go, you'll be surprised of what you might find...... LOL !!!! Oh yeah, don't forget LATIMORE " Let's Straighten It Out ". Smoooooth !!!!!!
I fell in love with Anita Baker as a 10 year old boy and 39 years on I am still in love with her rendition of beautiful and soulful songs. What an artist!
I can just listen to this song over & over again..on repeat. It just brings such a calming feeling to my soul.....I loved Anita Baker since the rapture album ❤️💯🙏🏽👍🏾💪🏾 ,
This song just feels so good. I can’t wait to play this for a man someday and tell him to just close his eyes and listen to the words while we slow dance and hold each other close while breathing each other in. Whew! I can dream, can’t I? 🤷🏽♀️😂

"Close Your Eyes" Stars up in the sky Said your heart won't lie to me You speak and dreams are real Free to follow what you feel [Chorus:] Close your eyes and see Life's no mystery Dreams become reality Close your eyes and see Sight of heart instead of mind Open eyes still travel blind We stumble in the dark See things clearly with your heart Close your eyes and see Life's no mystery Your dreams become reality If you close your eyes and see Come and fall through clouds of doubt Fall through clouds of fear, clouds of fear Fall into my arms baby Touch this feeling, feeling's believin' Follow your heart [Chorus:] Close your eyes and see Life's no mystery Dreams become reality Close your eyes and see See with you your heart See with your spirit Not with your mind, not with your eyes Close your eyes
