Close your eyes
Rest your head on my shoulder and sleep
Close your eyes
And I will close mine
Close your eyes
Let’s pretend that we’re both counting sheep
Close your eyes
Oh this is divine
Music play something dreamy for dancing
While we’re here romancing it’s love’s holiday
And love will be our guide
Close your eyes
When you open them dear
I’ll be near by your side
So won’t you close your eyes
Amazing and underrated song!!! This along with Al Bowlly's version...I couldn't resist covering it myself... Real music will never die. Thanks for uploading!

"Carl Sereinsen" = Doc Severinsen.
The guitarist you hear playing impeccable Freddie Green-style time is the magnificent Mundell Lowe (one of the most decent people I have ever met).
Investigate this very hip, slightly obscure tune:
It goes 'way back, it was 'way ahead of its time.
This version is great. Its from an even greater album. I wish all songs in it were uploaded. Stell By Starlight is excellent! Zoot Simms is in it and I just love the album.
