"Every Time I Close My Eyes" is a song written, produced and performed by American musician Babyface.

Mariah Carey performs the backing vocals, after Babyface did the same for her on "Melt Away", a track written by both, included on her 1995 album Daydream.

At the 40th Grammy Awards this song received a nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, which it lost to "Candle in the Wind" by Elton John.

He added, "Complemented by harmonies from Mariah Carey, he weaves a sweetly romantic tale on top of a quietly shuffling pop/R&B groove.

"[4] A reviewer from Music Week rated it four out of five, stating that "multi-talented Babyface shows why he is worth 12 Grammy nominations on this classy, sultry ballad on which he is joined by Mariah Carey and Kenny G."[5] The magazine's Alan Jones complimented it as "one of the cutest little Babyface records yet—a pretty, easy-paced ballad impeccably played and sung with sweetly cooed verses and a chorus which sticks in the brain.
