lyrics

I'm having this party to try and beat the fear.
I see you're here, what's it been, almost a year?
I see you're doing well. You're walking straight and tall.
Me, I'm looking up with each step that I fall.

Well, maybe it's just me,
But there's a fact that you can't hide.
Life is what passes when you keep your eyes closed.
Love is what happens when you open them up wide.

I remember the night we met.
Drinking and smoking bud cigarettes.
With each day the memories seem to fade.
I lose time like all the love I think we made.

Well, maybe it's just me,
But there's a fact that you can't hide.
Life is what passes when you keep your eyes closed.
Love is what happens when you open them up wide.

I can hear the melody, but can't get the rhythm right.
Maybe it's not sleeping in the day and straying up all night.
Everything feels too real to be some fiction.
But if it's all made up, it appears we had some fun.

Well, maybe it's just me,
But there's a fact that you can't hide.
Life is what passes when you keep your eyes closed.
Love is what happens when you open them up wide.

I lost sight of you while I was searching for myself.
Time to close the scrapbook and put it on the shelf.
It's time to pull it together or bite the bullet soon.
So things didn't work out here, we'll try them past the moon.

Well, maybe it's just me,
But there's a fact that you can't hide.
Life is what passes when you keep your eyes closed.
Love is what happens when you open them up wide.

Dennis John Glanville Madison, Wisconsin

Raised on a farm in Wisconsin, Dennis John Glanville has taken his country and folk childhood and turned it into a sound that could only come from a man who has taken his share of punches.
He's truly a troubadour with a minimalist approach. Along with his guitar and banjo, he sings of love, redemption, hope, and the joy of gathering with friends and drinking every drop that life has to offer.
