CLOSE YOUR EYES - Free Jazz Leadsheet

“close your eyes” was written in 1933 by composer Bernice Petkere. Early recordings by vocalists of the 1930s, including Ruth Etting and later Ella Fitzgerald, helped the song gain a foothold in the popular repertoire.

The lyric’s gentle invitation to relax and drift into romance pairs with a warm, flowing melody. Its 32-bar form and comfortable harmonic progression make it adaptable for both intimate vocal performances and small-group jazz interpretations.
