When I Close My Eyes: MATCHES The Musical

[EMMA:]

Grandmama?
What do I do, I do not know.
Do I go back, or run away?
I'm selling matches in the snow, see,
and if you could, what would you say?

Where did you go, and are you gone?
Should I give up, or carry on,
I wish I knew.
I cannot see what I can do.

But, when I close my eyes,
I can do anything.
I can be by your side,
change the world
and turn winter into spring.
Your hands, so warm to hold,
and no one's cruel
and no one's cold
and no one ever cries,
not when I close my eyes.

What am I now, I cannot say,
but I can say what I have been.
I was a Princess, in a way, well,
the way that you were like a Queen.

Why did you leave, where did you go.
If you were here, then I would know who I should be.
The girl I see, this isn't me.

But, when I close my eyes,
this whole world goes away.
I can be by your side.
You're a Queen,
with a crown upon your head.
To get there's worth the cost,
where no one's lonely,
no one's lost
and no one ever lies.

Yes, when I close my eyes,
I can be what you said.
And at last, I am there.
Is it real,
does it feel like I can stay
with you, where I belong,
where I am safe,
and I am strong,
and stars light up the skies,
and no one ever dies.

I'll find you there, where no one ever dies,
if I just close my eyes.
