I'll Just Close My Eyes

I'll Just Close My Eyes

For a moment! Does there live a soul amongst us who has not done this?
And, of course, many times it's when a favorite show you can't miss
Is just coming on. You're tired as all "get out" and your body language
Is begging for mercy! Now is the time to relax and enjoy and languish

In complete relaxation as you relish the precious thought
That you are free for a few minutes to enjoy a bit of rest, long sought!
As you sink into the dream state you are already past your troubles
And dreaming dreams and probably blowing huge clear bubbles.

It could be your subconscious nagging you or it could be a family member
Calling your name to let you know, "Your show is on. Remember?"
Why didn't they do that when you first departed? No! They waited
So you'd miss your favorite show and then you'd be hating

This lovely family member and yourself. Television is hypnotic; that's why
This aggravating scenario keeps repeating in every household and will defy
You to wake up on the commercial and sleep in deep sleep throughout your show.
You can only hope for re-runs that are bound to live forever, we all know.
