sunrise
♫ Simply Red Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I look into your eyes I see the sunrise
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
At this moment in time is it in your mind at all?
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)

Overall Meaning

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.

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.

Bueno les contaré esta anécdota que me marcó y por eso está hermosa canción siempre será muy especial para mi! Hace algunos años llegué a la ciudad de Santiago de Chile a probar suerte (Soy Colombiano) y como estaba corto de dinero, busque un lugar económico para vivir. Llegué a casa de una señora que vivía con sus dos hijas una de 10 años y otra de 8 la cual era una nena discapacitada, totalmente dependiente de su madre ya que tenía un serio problema de motricidad y un profundo autismo que la llevaba a ponerse eufórica y agresiva en ocaciones. Pero había algo mágico que hacía que está nena se tranquilizara... se relajara... Siii! Era Star de Simply Red! recuerdo que su madre le ponia a escuchar está cancion muchas veces al día... le encantaba escucharla! y a mi tambien! Realmente era mágico!!

Hace muchos años, cuando yo era una niña, no teníamos internet (eso sólo existía en las grandes ciudades); había un señor que nos vendía películas y videos de música, yo le pedí a mis papás que me compraran el Disco de videos de música en inglés y de entre todas las canciones estaba esta (stars) y “sunrise”.......mi hermana y yo nos enamoramos de este pelirrojo y de esta mágica canción y siempre que mis papás salían, yo corría a poner ese dvd solo para repetir y repetir a todo volumen esta canción que me relajaba por completo y la cantaba sin saber que decía.........ya tengo 26 años y apenas hace un año que tenemos internet en casa pude buscar este video subtitulado al español y saber que dice❤️💖💘💝ahora le encanta a mi pequeña hija y siempre me pide que se la cante en español💖💖💖💘💘💘💞💞💞
