She Brings the Sunlight
HAWLEY Richard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ah, you feel the stars above
There's no devil in her eyes
There's no darkness in disguise
But when you are alone
A kiss can turn your heart to stone
Hearts breaking in the night
There's a devil in her eyes
Oh, it's serious, so serious
A kiss that caught the wind made you delirious
Oh, it's serious, so serious
Take her in your arms, don't be afraid
Never be afraid
When you are in love
Ah, the stars burn bright above
There's a kindness in her eyes
There's no darkness in disguise
Oh, but when you are alone
Ah, your heart it turns to stone
Hearts breaking in the night
There's a devil in her eyes
Oh, it's serious, so serious
A kiss that caught the wind made you delirious
Oh, it's serious, so serious
Take her in your arms, don't be afraid
Never be afraid
The song "She Brings the Sunlight" by Richard Hawley is an enigmatic love song that explores the themes of love, loneliness, and the dual nature of a romantic relationship. The initial lines "When you are in love, Ah, you feel the stars above" emphasizes how falling in love makes one feel elevated, almost as if they are transcending above everything else. The lines "There's no devil in her eyes, There's no darkness in disguise" refer to the inherent goodness and purity of the beloved. However, in the chorus, the singer ominously warns the listener that this same love can turn dangerous when not reciprocated, hence the lines "A kiss that caught the wind made you delirious" and "Hearts breaking in the night, There's a devil in her eyes".
The second verse of the song portrays the melancholic loneliness that follows a failed relationship. The lines "Ah, your heart it turns to stone, Hearts breaking in the night, There's a devil in her eyes" evoke a sense of hopelessness and sorrow. Nevertheless, the singer urges the listener to take courage and embrace love fearlessly with the lines, "Take her in your arms, don't be afraid, Never be afraid". The song's overall message appears to be that love can be both beautiful and dangerous and that its power is undeniable, even when it brings pain.

When you are in love
When you're enamored
Ah, you feel the stars above
You feel like you're under a beautiful sky full of stars

A simple kiss can turn your once-beating heart to a cold, hard stone

Emotions are running high, and hearts are fracturing under the cover of darkness

Ah, your heart it turns to stone
Your heart becomes as hard as a rock
Hearts breaking in the night
Emotions are heightened, and emotions are getting shattered in the dark
There's a devil in her eyes
There is a wickedness in her eyes that may cause a devastating impact
Oh, it's serious, so serious
The situation is significant, and one must act prudently
A kiss that caught the wind made you delirious
A single, fleeting kiss captured your heart and sent you into a frenzy

something like -
I'll ask the life, Lighter beside me
There's no question why, She's the first, the last and always
With grace she walks, Through my open door
Her perfume reaches, In before her
She brings the sunlight, She makes the world right
And as my love Slowly undresses
She brings a new need, The need to caress her
Oh and her eyes, They hypnotise me
The feel of her skin, Now there beside me
She brings the sunlight She makes the world right
And as my heart,Now calm beside hers
The sweat runs dry, Mine and hers always
We'll have a child,To show life's true meaning
The child runs light,And so forever sees us
She brings the sunlight, She makes the world right
She brings the sun, She brings the sun, She brings the sun..light..

Peter Cena
Best song and album of 2012.
Hawley executes a British style of rock I wish was more prominent here in the states.
Roy Royston
Blistering song. Raucous, soulful, powerful. I discovered it because of Three Kings. Fits the intro perfectly.

Mr Hawley is the Real Deal. He plays the guitar with a swagger and can you imagine if he ever decided to make a rock n roll album!? It would soar up into the sky like a rocket before making walls crumble!!
Danny Stewart
Well, yeah you're right, except Richard has always made rock'n'roll records, just...different kinds of rock'n'roll.
