(ABBA) Gemini : When I Close My Eyes (Benny & Björn) #shorts

Gemini are a Swedish brother and sister duo, consisting of Karin Glenmark and Anders Glenmark. The duo released two original albums: Gemini (1985) and Geminism (1987) .Much of the material was written by former ABBA members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus,

Recorded during sessions for the Gemini album, parts of the tune of 'When I Close My Eyes' ultimately found their way into the Andersson/Rice/Ulvaeus musical Chess (in the London production's finale, in the Broadway production's song "Lullaby (Apukád erős kezén)", and throughout the Swedish production). Gemini's version was eventually released on their 2005 compilation album Det bästa med Karin och Anders Glenmark, for which it received a new backing track (wikipedia)

Musik & Text - Benny Andersson och Björn Ulvaeus
I came alone
And so did you
Apart from us the guests were all arriving two by two
The stage was set, you smiled at me
There was the matchmaker's mark
But then your eyes said why not wait and see

When I close my eyes tonight,
you will fill my mind
In the silent darkness,
you'll be shining bright
When I close my eyes tonight

We talked at length, I was amazed
how we agreed on almost every subject that was raised
And as the night went on, I knew
it seemed a matter of course,
that you were meant for me and I for you

When I close my eyes tonight,
you will fill my mind
In the silent darkness,
you'll be shining bright
When I close my eyes tonight,
I will see your face
And no doubt I loved you,
and I know I'll cry
When I close my eyes tonight,
you will fill my mind...
When I close my eyes tonight
