SUNRISE
♫ Simply Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The light behind your face helps me realize (sunrise)
Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine (sunrise)
I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
Forever
Wandering through life, will love come home to you?
And the love you want forever, will they be true to you?
Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines?
Maybe the next time I'll be yours and maybe you'll be mine (maybe mine)
I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time, love's indescribable
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
Easy, ready, willing, over time
Where does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line?
You've got the body now you want my soul
Don't even think about it, say "no-go"
(Sunrise) I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
It could be me
At this moment in time is it in your mind at all?
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
(Sunrise) at this moment in time is it in your mind at all?
It should be me, it could be me
Forever
Forever
(Sunrise)
The lyrics to Simply Red's "Sunrise" are a testament to the power and beauty of love. As the song begins, the singer is entranced by the sunrise he sees in his lover's eyes. The light behind her face makes the singer realize how important this person is to him. He wonders if she thinks about him as often as he thinks about her, and hopes that they can be together forever. The second verse explores the uncertainty and fear that can come with love. The singer asks if the love he wants will come back to him, and if it will be true. Through it all, he keeps the hope and faith that they will be together. The final half of the song is a plea to his lover to be true to him, to not just want his body but also his soul. The song ends on a note of hopeful ambiguity as the singer wonders if the person he is thinking of will be his forever.

As I look into your eyes I see the sunrise
As I gaze into your eyes, I feel like I'm experiencing a sunrise, and the light behind your face helps me realize the beauty and wonder of what I'm seeing.
Will we sleep and sometimes love until the moon shines
Maybe we won't just make love, but sleep and dream until the moon shines, and perhaps the next time we meet, we could be together.
I don't know if it's even in your mind at all
I have no idea if you think of me at all or even consider me as someone you could be with.
It could be me
But maybe it could be me; I would like to be the one you think of when you're dreaming or in love.
Forever
I wish I could be with you forever and always be the one you want and desire.
Wandering through life, will love come home to you?
I wonder if love will find its way to you and if the person you want to love will love you back.
And the love you want forever, will they be true to you?
Even if you find the love you seek, will that person be the one who loves you back just as much?
Easy, ready, willing, over time
I'm all set and ready to go, and as time passes, I'm still here waiting for you.
Where does it stop, where do you dare me to draw the line?
But where does it all end? How far are you willing to take things, and where do you want me to draw the line?
You've got the body now you want my soul
You've got my body, and now you want to possess my soul - the very essence of who I am.
Don't even think about it, say "no-go"
I'm warning you now, don't even think of trying to take my soul. Say no and leave me be.

This man's music is so enchanting... moves me like nothing I've ever heard before. Thanks so much for posting this song.
@burn4you
This song is really powerful if you can relate to it, and the video goes very well with it. The back and forth of the hard and soft, the sadness and the anger, the despair and the hope.
