"Close My Eyes Forever" is the duet on Lita, Lita Ford's 1988 album, with Ozzy Osbourne trading vocals with her on a song the two of them wrote together while drunk. Mike Chapman produced it and George Tutko engineered and mixed, and the credits put Ford on guitar with Donnie Nossov on bass, Myron Grombacher on drums, David Ezrin on keyboards and Craig Krampf sitting in on extra drums and percussion, while Chapman and Llory McDonald add guest backing vocals.
The album yielded four singles, and this one went out as a remix in 1989. That version climbed to number eight on the Hot 100 and 25 on Album Rock Tracks: Ford's best chart showing ever, and a higher peak than anything Osbourne managed on his own.
