"Don't Close Your Eyes" is a power ballad by the American rock band Kix from their fourth studio album, Blow My Fuse (1988). It was written by Bob Halligan Jr., John Palumbo, and Donnie Purnell.

The song remains Kix's most successful single release, peaking at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1]. It is the group's only notable singles chart success, despite a largely successful career. The main subject matter for the song is a plea for the listener not to commit suicide despite a lack of sympathy from their mother and a largely absent father.
