Spanish Eyes
Fifth Avenue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never wanted this feeling,
I never thought it would come
This love that grew inside me
But I know what has to be done
Baby I loved you, held you
Did everything my heart desired
But like the wind, you're gone from me
Where do I turn now?

[Chorus]
Can we bring it back
A love that made me quiver
When I saw your face
The one that made me shiver
When you lay with me
My beautiful Spanish eyes don't go away

no no no, oh baby don't go

This beautiful vision I once held
That kept me safe and warm
It's beauty I call my best friend
Lost a pure heart so strong

Baby you left me, all alone
With nothing but time on my side
But my heart will brake if you can't hear me say

[Chorus]
Can we bring it back
The love that made me quiver
When I saw your face
The one that made me shiver
When you lay with me
My beautiful Spanish eyes don't go away

no no no baby don't go

No don't leave me here,
Leave me here all alone
No don't let go this love away
I needed so much more, than I ever had before
I need your love in each and every day.

[Chorus]
Can we bring it back,
the love that made me quiver,
When I saw your face,
The one that made me shiver
When you lay with me
My beautiful Spanish eyes don't go away

Can we bring it back,
the love that made me quiver,
When I saw your face,
The one that made me shiver
When you lay with me
My beautiful Spanish eyes don't go away

My beautiful Spanish eyes don't go away

Overall Meaning

The song "Spanish Eyes" by Fifth Avenue is about a person who never anticipated falling in love, but when they did, it was with a Spanish girl who had beautiful eyes. They loved and cherished her, but she left unexpectedly like the wind. The singer is struggling to make sense of it and is asking if they can bring back the love they once shared. The singer is afraid of losing the love that they once had with their Spanish lover, and they long to feel that kind of love again. The chorus repeats the same line, "Can we bring it back, the love that made me quiver, when I saw your face, the one that made me shiver, when you lay with me, my beautiful Spanish eyes don't go away."

The lyrics are emotional and vulnerable, expressing the singer's deep love for their Spanish lover. The use of figurative language, such as "the wind," to describe how suddenly and unpredictably their lover left, enhances the song's emotional impact. It is a song about the power of love and how it can leave a lasting impact and longing even after it has gone.

I never wanted this feeling,
I wasn't expecting to feel this way

I never thought it would come
I didn't see it coming

This love that grew inside me
My feelings for you grew stronger

But I know what has to be done
But I know we can't be together

Baby I loved you, held you
I loved you deeply and held you close

Did everything my heart desired
I did everything to make it work between us

But like the wind, you're gone from me
But you left me unexpectedly, like the wind

Where do I turn now?
I don't know what to do next

Can we bring it back
Is there a way to rekindle our love?

A love that made me quiver
Our love was intense and passionate

When I saw your face
Seeing you made my heart skip a beat
