FIGURE

Heads Promenade Halfway around

Walk in and Square Thru 4 hands around

4 hands and then do the Right & Left Thru

Veer Left and then Ferris Wheel you do

Square Thru go 3 hands and then

Swing the corner girl, Promenade for me

When you love me tonight, just hold me tight

And don't close your eyes

CLOSER

Don't close your eyes, let it be me

Don't pretend it's him in some fantasy

Men Star Right go one time tonight

Swing the girl around, Promenade with me

When you love me tonight, just hold me tight

And don't close your eyes

ORIGINAL LYRICS

I know you loved him
A long time ago
Even now in my arms
You still want him, I know
But darling this time
Let your memories die
When you hold me tonight
Don't close your eyes

 

Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling, just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

 

Maybe I've been a fool
Holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms
Knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day
That you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight
Don't close your eyes

 

Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling, just once let yesterday go
And you'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

 

Don't close your eyes
Let it be me
Don't pretend it's him
In some fantasy
Darling, just once let yesterday go
You'll find more love
Than you've ever known
Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes

 

Just hold me tight
When you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
