When you close your eyes
I am close to you
Don't forget it
cast a spell over you
We don't need a fairytale
We'll jump over the rainbow
When you close your eyes
When you close your eyes
Our feeling begin
to growing everydoy!
La La La La...
When you close your eyes
You will find our love
When you kissed me
The miracle has happened
How many little stars
falling over you and me?
When you close your eyes
When you close your eyes
When you close your eyes
We'll certinly catch ourselves,
someday!
La La La La...
The lyrics to カヒミ・カリィ's song "The Way You Close Your Eyes" describe the power of love and the magic that happens when two people come together. The singer starts by saying, "When you close your eyes, I am close to you. Don't forget it, I cast a spell over you." This signifies that when the person she loves closes their eyes, they are in her world and under her spell, and she is close to them even when they are physically far away. She then goes on to say that they don't need a fairytale as they have each other- they will jump over the rainbow and make their own story.
The chorus repeats the line, "When you close your eyes," emphasizing the importance of this action in bringing their love together. The singer talks about their love growing every day and how it is a miracle that happened when they kissed. She uses imagery of stars falling over them, signifying the magic that is happening when they are together. The last line of the chorus says, "We'll certainly catch ourselves, someday!" which represents the feeling of being lost in love and the hope that they will find their way back to each other.
Overall, the song encapsulates how love has the power to make us feel like we are under a spell, that we are part of a fairytale, and how it adds a touch of magic to our everyday lives.
