היו לי שמיים
Liran danino Lyrics

The lyrics to Liran Danino's song "היו לי שמיים" (I had skies) depict a sense of longing and nostalgia for a past love. The song conveys the idea that once, a long time ago, the skies belonged to the person being addressed in the lyrics. The winter remains on the window, symbolizing the coldness and emptiness felt after the person has left. The singer wonders if the person remembers, perhaps beneath the buttons, that he also has a heart. Sad songs only intensify the pain, as they serve as a reminder of the lost love.

The singer expresses that every day is dedicated to the person, and as the night stretches on, he prays that maybe they will return. When they left, it felt like blowing out the candles of his birthday, symbolizing the loss of joy and brightness in his life. The lyrics suggest that some people search behind the scenes of the sunset, hoping to find love similar to what the singer and the person once shared.

The lyrics acknowledge that it is not easy to accept that the singer had everything and now only memories remain. Nothing else seems to exist besides the memories that constantly reside in the singer's mind. Throughout the song, the recurring theme is the hope that the person will return and reignite the happiness that was lost.
