Close my eyes

My first album named Spilled Ink is finished so to celebrate all 12 songs will have new videos and lyrics. 

Close my eyes is a written collaboration of words between myself and noted Poet and songwriter Craig Burt. 

From the upcoming album called Spilled Ink 
filled with mostly poetry 
a little bit of music 
some vocals too
and a lot of heart and soul. 

Close my eyes

Written by: Richard M Knittle Jr. & Craig Burt
Performed by: Douglas Haines

I watch the sun come up across
that clear blue Texas sky
my thinkin’ of the things we had
turned to rivers from my eyes

I try to stop
my heart just drops
when the wind brings your whisper
soft and dry
I drift away,
but I still cry

All of the brightest stars
are out of a perfect picture
clears my doubt
I contemplate.
I hesitate.
I won’t let go
my love for you still grows
and I adore you so

I’m sittin’ here
as time goes by
healin’ slow.
The pain won’t die
the hurt won’t go,
keeps building slow,
and love just fades away.
so I don’t know
but I still adore you so

All of the brightest stars
are out a perfect picture
clears my doubt
I contemplate.
I hesitate.
I won’t let go
my love for you still grows
and I adore you so.

Oh, I still adore you so.
