Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open your eyes, open your eyes
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Open your eyes, open your eyes
Open your eyes, open your eyes

Love is freewheeling, keeps me wakin' all night long
But just like makin' love, becomes a part of you
Nobody's losing when we get so satisfied
Because of you I've got to shouting out my love

Shouting out my love (shouting out my love)
Shouting out my love, (shouting out my love)
Shouting out my love, my love (shouting out my love)

Open your eyes, there's my love, turn it over
Open your eyes, it's no time to be afraid
Open your eyes, till the dawn's up and over
Open your eyes, there's your bed and it's made

Gimme that feeling and we'll rock it on out strong
But when you're makin' just like I do to you
The night is growing and I think we're gonna fly
It's just for you that I'll be shouting out my love

Shouting out my love (shouting out my love)
Shouting out my love, (shouting out my love)
Shouting out my love, my love (shouting out my love)

Open your eyes, there's my love, turn it over
Open your eyes, it's no time to be afraid
Open your eyes, till the dawn's up and over
Open your eyes, there's your bed and it's made

Open your eyes, there's my love, turn it over
Open your eyes, it's no time to be afraid
Open your eyes, till the dawn's up and over
Open your eyes, there's your bed and it's made

Shouting out my love
Shouting out my love
Shouting out my love
Shouting out my love
Shouting out my love
Shouting out my love
Shouting out my love
Shouting out my love
Shouting out my love

Open your eyes, open your eyes
Open your eyes, open your eyes




Open your eyes, open your eyes
Open your eyes, open your eyes

The Master

One of the best sound of the 90s, we really miss it.. I still have the original cd!

Roger Howard

In my opinion...as a 'soul-dance track of the 1990's, this track is just one of the very best of the whole 1990's period.
The singer and the singer's way of vocal expression with the song's lyrics capture the joyfulness and exuberance of life itself. That is why this track is so moving to listen to.
I write about music, and I must say... this track is one of those tracks that does literally move me to tears when I listen to it.
