sunny days sunny days what do you see when you close your eyes.

The lyrics of Ben Cocks's song Summer Haze seemingly depict the beauty of the summer season, with its clear blue skies and warm sunshine. In the first line, we hear the repetition of "sunny days," which gives us an indication of the kind of imagery and mood the song is trying to evoke. The next line poses a rhetorical question asking the listener what they see when they close their eyes - perhaps implying that the beauty of summer can be a subjective experience.
The lyric "you've got such beautiful eyes summer haze" is an interesting one. Here, the "summer haze" of the title is personified and presumably referred to as someone or something with beautiful eyes - maybe representing the allure of the season itself. The repetition of "sunny days" is used again in the last line, drawing the song to a close with a sense of completeness and wrapping up the mood that was established at the beginning. The outro is an interesting feature - the sound of "dadadadadadadada" spoken rapidly serves as a sort of rhythmic punctuation to the end of the song.
