Transcript

Beautiful sunrise in your eyes
Burning like a flame
Beautiful colours inside me
Calling out your name

You came down on me like summer rain
Wearing nothing but your love
I can't explain the shivers I get when you call my name
Painting rainbows on my soul

Beautiful sunrise in your eyes
Burning like a flame
Beautiful colours inside me
Calling out your name

She's blown me away like an ocean storm
Then she moved her lips to say:"Don't be afraid"
Here I am lost in your eyes to be found again
Cause you've changed my life today

Explanations

COLORS (AmE) = Colours (BrE) /kʌlə*z/

CALLING OUT YOUR NAME= If you call out somebody's name, you pronounce their name in a loud voice.

WEARING NOTHING BUT YOUR LOVE= Naked (without clothes). But = except.
Notice here the assimilation that is usually produced when a T and a Y get together: T+Y= CH (/t/+/j/=//). You can find this assimilation in other parts of the song, for instance in "calling ouT Your name".

SHIVERS= If you get shivers (or if you shiver), you tremble or shake because you are cold or because you feel a strong emotion (fear, love, etc.).

RAINBOWS= The rainbow is an arc of colours that appear in the sky sometimes when the sunlight gets through tiny drops of water floating in the air.


SOUL= Spirit. The immortal, invisible part of you.


SHE'S BLOWN ME AWAY= If a strong wind blows something away, it moves it away. If a person blows you away, you feel overwhelmed, intensely affected by them (usually due to love or desire).

Meaning

This song simply explains the overwhelming feeling he gets when she appears in his life and it's love at first sight.
