Lyrics
Well the sun is surely sinking down
Observing the sunset, acknowledging the end of the day
But the moon is slowly rising
Noting the moon's ascent, suggesting a new beginning
And this old world must still be spinning 'round
Reflecting on the continuous rotation of the world
And I still love you
Expressing enduring love for someone
So close your eyes
Encouraging someone to close their eyes, possibly to savor a moment
You can close your eyes, it's all right
Reassuring that closing one's eyes is okay, implying safety or trust
I don't know no love songs
Admitting a lack of knowledge in love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
Expressing an inability to sing the blues anymore
But I can sing this song
Affirming the ability to sing a specific song despite other limitations
And you can sing this song
Inviting the listener to join in singing the mentioned song
When I'm gone
Acknowledging a future absence but emphasizing the enduring nature of the song
Well it won't be long before another day
Anticipating the arrival of a new day
We're gonna have a good time
Expecting to have a good time on the upcoming day
And no one's gonna take that time away
Asserting that no one can take away the joy of that time
You can stay as long as you like
Granting permission for someone to stay as long as they want
So close your eyes
Repeating the encouragement to close one's eyes, reinforcing a sense of security
You can close your eyes, it's all right
Reiterating the reassurance that closing eyes is acceptable
I don't know no love songs
Reiterating the lack of knowledge in love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
Reiterating the inability to sing the blues
But I can sing this song
Reaffirming the capability to sing the specific song mentioned
And you can sing this song
Reiterating the invitation for the listener to sing along
When I'm gone
Emphasizing that the song will endure even when the singer is absent
So close your eyes
Repeating the encouragement to close one's eyes, maintaining a comforting tone
You can close your eyes, it's all right
Reiterating the assurance that closing eyes is fine
I don't know no love songs
Reiterating the lack of knowledge in love songs
And I can't sing the blues anymore
Reiterating the inability to sing the blues
But I can sing this song
Reaffirming the capability to sing the specific song mentioned
And you can sing this song
Reiterating the invitation for the listener to join in singing
When I'm gone
Emphasizing that the song will persist even in the singer's absence
