The night I laid my eyes on you
I felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say

And your love slowly moved right in
All this time, oh my love, where you been

Mi amore
Don't you know
My love I want you so
Sugar
You make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

I'm mesmerized in every way
You keep me in a state of daze
Your kisses make my skin feel weak
Always suffering in your heat

Lift our souls like a bird in the wind
Oh I glide like I'm flying through heaven

Mi amore
Don't you know
My love I want you so
Sugar
You make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Overall Meaning

The song “Rapture” by Lio is about falling in love, and how it takes the singer on an emotional journey filled with ups and downs. The lyrics describe the night the singer first laid their eyes on the person they fell in love with, and how everything around them moved. The singer got nervous when the person they were interested in looked their way, but eventually, the two of them fell in love. The chorus repeats the phrase “Mi amore, don't you know, my love, I want you so, sugar, you make my soul complete, rapture tastes so sweet.” This shows how much the singer cares for and desires the person they love, and how they complete each other like a rapture.


The verses describe the singer's addiction to their love interest. They're mesmerized by them in every way, and their kisses make their skin feel weak. They surrender themselves to their love interest and suffer in their heat. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing how much the singer loves and desires their partner. The song ends with the same melody as the beginning, repeating the phrase “La la la la la la” five times, then following with the chorus. This song has a catchy melody and upbeat tempo and is a classic example of a love song that's easy to dance to.

The night I laid my eyes on you
Felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say
And your love slowly moved right in
All this time, oh my love, where you been?
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
La, la la la la la la...
You mesmerise in every way
You keep me in a state of daze
Your kisses make my skin feel weak
I'm always melting in your heat
Then I soar like a bird on the wind
Oh I glide as I'm flying through heaven
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
La, la la la la la la...
Since we connect behind closed doors
Spark this fire even more
No telling where we will be next
Surrender to your rapture aura
Lay your head, let the slumber flow
Can't resist, that's why words will rule
Mi amore, don't you know?
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet
La, la la la la la la...

Probably I spend like 18 years searching for the song (I'm 30). The only thing that I used to reference was the chorus-beat (la la la la la la) that obviously it doesn't work😂

@AK-fo3mj

I feel you! I've been searching for a song I kept listening to since my childhood and didn't know the name of. Finally found it randomly on a UK Chart during Christmas. It was Sugababes-Too lost in you.

@therealrealSANDMAN

Same problem that I have right now with another song 😅

@Hamid__786

@@therealrealSANDMAN same to me ..

@pawansharma499

First time i listened it in 2008 in a indian mix song, but doesn't found the official song, but today in July 2020 i finally found it..

@carljohnson_gtasa

My brother played it in 2007 and I was in 7th that time, I'm from India 🇮🇳 I used watch English song in my pc in the absence of my brother only to watch Kissings honestly (bcoz Bollywood hasn't much kissing songs that time), I found Enrique Iglesias songs like escape, addicted etc it has plenty kissings.

Im much influenced by English songs such as from Metallica, Guns 'n Roses, Bryan Adams- summer of '69, Sting-desert rose, Evanescence, Backstreet Boys, Nirvana, Blues, Linkin Park and many songs I don't remember.. I had this Rapture song in that folder. Now I m 23yrs old.
