He later went on to represent Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest and landed a 9th place final position.

As if here
My soul is hoping for the warm heart's prayers
It's hard, it's hard when a longing in front of the moon
Is here for a while and than escapes, the crying is chasing after it
It's hard, it's hard when a longing in front of the moon
Is here for a while and than escapes, the crying is chasing after it
Sometimes the wind brings a good, familiar smell
Strokes now, listening
To you singing
Not a starlight
You are now
With me, with me, as if real
Like back than
Come along, come along
See the fire in your eyes
And you come with me, with me
Sometimes the wind brings a good, familiar smell
Strokes now, listening
Not a starlight
You are now
With me, with me, as if real
Like back then
My soul is hoping for the warm heart's prayers
My soul is hoping for the warm heart's prayers
Not a starlight
With me, with me, as if real
Like back then
The lyrics to Boaz's "The Fire in Your Eyes" evoke a sense of longing and nostalgia, reflecting on a past love and hoping for the warmth of their prayers. The singer is struggling with the difficulty of missing someone when they are so close yet out of reach. The metaphor of longing in front of the moon implies that the singer's desire is grand and unattainable. The chorus declares that the fire in the subject's eyes is the hope that they will come along with Boaz, suggesting that perhaps the fire represents their passion and intensity.
The bridge contrasts the perceived distance of the stars with the subject's presence, emphasizing their importance and shine. The repeated phrases "Lifamim mevi haruakh re'akh tov mukar, melatef akhshav shome'a" symbolize a sense of spiritual connection with the past and the present, suggesting that the singer is seeking solace in the memories and feelings of their relationship. The final verse signifies the closeness of their relationship and the singer's desire to return to the warmth of the past.
