Even though it’s been over three decades, Lorrie Morgan is still paying tribute to her late husband, most notably with a cover of his iconic hit, “Don’t Close Your Eyes.” Don’t Close Your Eyes was written by Bob McDill (also responsible for ‘Song of the South’ by Alabama and many, many more), and was released in March of ’88 as third single from his sophomore album of…
