As I turn off the bed light   and close my eyes to fall asleep   The sound of music fills the room   and enters my sweet dreams   It creaks and groans in stairs and doors   A hum of voices hums   I search the house and what’s weird,   There’s no one here it could come from      Open your eyes   Open your eyes   See how the flowers have grown   See how the beauty is gone   Open your eyes   Open your eyes   There’s the house that we no longer own   And our cat is dead, buried and gone      A gentleman walks up to me   And asks me for a dance   His hands are cold, but eyes reveal   I’m his true love and romance   An old piano plays our song   The party takes the floor   I’ve known this man my entire life   Though he doesn’t live no more      Open your eyes   Open your eyes   See how the garden has grown   See how my beauty is gone      Open the doors   Open the doors   There’s the house that we no longer own   And our cat is dead, buried and gone      He carries me to bed   The morning after, folks have gone   What’s left is the same old piano   And a song that we both know   About Henrik and Nathalie   He died long before she was born   They meet in her dreams   And after life   They will share what was never begun         Open your eyes   Open your eyes   See what you wanted to see   It’s there if you only believe   Open your eyes   Open your eyes   I promise that we’ll meet again   We both know where, but I don’t know when
