This song was inspired by Bublé's Argentinian wife Luisana. He wrote the tune sitting at the piano and it serves as a homage to the strength of women, and how much men depend on them.

Bublé explained to The Sunday Telegraph that the song pays tribute to how Luisana, "helps carry me... How she shares the load with me. I was just thinking, 'You're always the one that pulls us through.'"

"I notice the stability my wife has given me in simple ways," he continued. "In other relationships I would think, 'Let's go on vacation,' and the girl would say, 'Let's go to Hawaii,' and I would say, 'Who do we call, what couple do we get to go with us?'

It's like I always needed someone else there. With my wife it's just... we're good together."

Michael uses soft treatment of the lyrics and treats this song as a love song. I like adding a little power to it. Hope you don't mind.....:-) Keith

Keith Wallin: @bevb Thanks, Bev! This is a new song for me. I learned it yesterday. I try to stay as close to the original on most of the songs I sing but, every once in awhile, I have to put my own stamp on it. Glad you enjoyed my interpretation of these lyrics. Enjoy the rest of your day....:-)

Keith Wallin: @joyceishere You are absolutely right about having a relationship like that. I think Michael enjoys that type of relationship with his wife. In interviews, he is always gushing about her and then when he writes lyrics like this, he is extolling her virtues. I encourage you to listen to him sing this song. You can feel the love! Lynn and I have been married 44 years. I was picturing her when I sang this song. Have a wonderful rest of your day, Joyce....:-)

Keith Wallin: @abbygail25 Hi Gail! It's so great to see you! How are you doing? Hope everything is going smoothly. Thank you so much for dropping into listen to my take on this new to me MB song. To date, there are 22 songs entitled "Close Your Eyes" dating back to 1933. I think he should have titled it "You're One Of A Kind." He repeats that phrase several times and their are only 6 songs with that title....lol

Keith Wallin: @admin ***BLUSHING**** Kelly, thank you so very much! Your reaction to my cover is absolutely humbling. I am so happy you enjoyed my rendition of this MB hit song. I changed it up quite a bit by adding the power. Michael's original version is more of a traditional love song. You are the BEST!!! Have a terrific upcoming week......:-)
