Lyrics
Close Your Eyes and Dream
Mrs. Johnson was teaching her fifth grade class
When she asked Bobby Blair to read out loud
His face got red; he stared at the floor
Till she said, ”Bobby you can sit down”
When the bell rang she asked him to stay
She said, “You’ve kept your secret very well
I know you can’t read but I also know
You can learn and I will help:”
You can do anything you really want to do
Everything’s possible it’s all up to you
You can be whatever you want to be
So close your eyes
Close your eyes and dream
She opened the world to him that day
He met Tom Sawyer ’n Huckleberry Finn
In just eight years she saw him graduate
Got a great big hug from him
Bobby stayed in touch the next few years
One day he sent roses with a card
She cried as she read what he wrote
It said your words are still in my heart
You can do anything you really want to do
Everything’s possible it’s all up to you
You can be whatever you want to be
So close your eyes
Close your eyes and dream
It was signed Robert Blair M.D.
