About Daylight in Your Eyes

"Daylight in Your Eyes" is the debut song by all-female German pop group No Angels. It was written by Tony Bruno and Tommy Byrnes and initially recorded by American rock band New Life Crisis. A Tony Moran-produced remix of their version appeared on the MTV Party to Go Remixed compilation (2001), but as their record company, Tommy Boy Entertainment, folded soon after, the group's original recording failed to receive a wider release, and the song was eventually sold separately abroad. There, "Daylight" was purchased by Epic Records and re-recorded by Columbian singer Victoria Faiella for her debut album with the label. In 2001, Faiella's producer Peter Plate offered the newly created pop group No Angels to re-record "Daylight in Your Eyes" for their debut studio album Elle'ments (2001) following their participation in the first installment of the German adaption of the reality television program Popstars. Released as the band's debut single on February 5, 2001 in German-speaking Europe and the following months in the United Kingdom and the United States, the single became a major international hit, reaching number-one in Austria, Estonia, Germany, and Switzerland. The song became the best-selling single of the year 2001 in Germany, and emerged as one of the best-selling German recordings of the decade, ranking fifth on the highest-selling singles of the 2000s in Germany. It was nominated for an Amadeus Austrian Music Award and awarded the 2002 ECHO Award for Single of the Year (National). "Daylight in Your Eyes" received a Platinum certification from the Bundesverband Musikindustrie for shipping half a million copies, and has since been covered by various artists.

Want to know you better
Want to push you, baby
But never too far
Want to show you heaven
Want to be like you
Just as strong as you are

I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be sunlight only warmer
I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be love only stronger
I want to be daylight

Want to live forever
Want to touch your hand and explode like a star
Want to stand beside you
Always be together wherever you are

I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be sunlight only warmer
I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be love only stronger
I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be sunlight only warmer
I want to be daylight

Want to know you better
Want to push you, baby
But never too far
Want to live forever
Want to be like you just as weak as you are
Weak as you are

I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be sunlight only warmer
I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be love only stronger
I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be sunlight only warmer
I want to be daylight

Daylight
I see it in your eyes
Daylight
I want to be just you and me
Warmer than sunlight

Daylight in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes

I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be sunlight only warmer
I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be love only stronger
I want to be daylight in your eyes
I want to be sunlight only warmer
I want to be daylight

Daylight
I see it in your eyes
