Close Your Eyes
Lovin' Spoonful Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm right here
I'm right here
I've been dreaming of you for so long
When we come face to face in this cold world
I don't know you
Close your eyes
I'm right here in your dreams
close your eyes
close your eyes
Why is it so hard for you to see?
I'm right here
I'm right here
I've found myself in your dreams
I'm your angel
You're my king
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
I'm right here in your dreams
close your eyes
close your eyes
The lyrics to Lovin' Spoonful's song Close Your Eyes seem to be a message from a mysterious figure, claiming to be an angel or some sort of supernatural entity. The singer says "I've got wings like a ???," implying that they are not of this world. They claim to have been dreaming of the listener for a long time and have finally appeared to them. However, even though they are present, the listener does not seem to recognize or know them.
The singer urges the listener to "close your eyes" and see them in their dreams, where they are more familiar. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes how much more comfortable and intimate the dream world is compared to reality. The singer claims to have found themselves in the listener's dreams and refers to them as "my king," suggesting a romantic or spiritual connection.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a mystical encounter that is only possible in dreams. The singer is an otherworldly being that the listener is not aware of in their waking life but has a deep connection with in their subconscious world.
