The song talks about someone coming into the girls life like the sun through rain to save her from her pain and loneliness. This is just the same as Dido and Aeneas. He comes to Carthage and doesn’t mean to fall in love but they end up falling in love. Easing the pain of both of them for they have lost their spouses.

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’ Do you feel my heart beating Do you understand Do you feel the same Am I only dreaming Is this burning an eternal flame I believe it’s meant to be, darlin’ I watch you when you are sleeping You belong with me Do you feel the same Am I only dreaming Or is this burning an eternal flame Say my name Sun shines through the rain A whole life so lonely And then come and ease the pain I don’t want to lose this feeling, oh Say my name Sun shines through the rain A whole life so lonely And then come and ease the pain I don’t want to lose this feeling, oh Close your eyes, give me your hand Do you feel my heart beating Do you understand Do you feel the same Am I only dreaming Or is this burning an eternal flame Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’ Do you feel my heart beating Do you understand Do you feel the same Am I only dreaming Is this burning an eternal flame Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’ Do you feel my heart beating Do you understand Do you feel the same Am I only dreaming, ah An eternal flame Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’ Do you feel my heart beating Do you understand Do you feel the same Am I only dreaming, ah Is this burning an eternal flame Close your eyes, give me your hand, darlin’
