"Close My Eyes Forever" is a duet by Lita Ford and Ozzy Osbourne from Ford's 1988 album Lita. The song was written by Ford and Osbourne as the result of an accident in the studio, during which they both drank heavily and inadvertently wrote the lyrics to the song together.[3][4] This song is Ford's highest charting single, peaking at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1989, and number 25 on the US Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart. It is also Osbourne's highest charting single of his solo career. The song was one of four singles from the album Lita.[5]
