"Mesmerized" is the first song I wrote upon my re-entry into songwriting. It has since been overhauled into what it is in 2024, as the 4th track on my Solo debut EP, MOONS & ARCHES. The song is about being captured in the moment by a love-interest, where magical occurrences take flight, and words and music are penned in ways never before imagined:
"When I see your face,
I'm captured by your smile.
Singing songs and writing rhymes..."
Lyrics
Mesmerized (Heart Is Gold) - Words and Music by Raul S Quines [ASCAP]
When I see your face,
I’m captured by your smile
Something stirs
inside of me;
My heart and soul
take over me
I look into your eyes,
and I feel so alive
Chasing dreams
and butterflies,
No, I’m not one
to compromise
my love
I stare out my window,
as the day turns to night
Lest I come to realize;
Maybe I’ll just close my eyes
Tonight,
tonight
I’ve no shame to hide
I’m free in this space of time
Know’n my heart
is leading me
Tonight,
tonight
I give up this fight
In this precious moment,
‘cause your eyes,
they speak to me
Tonight,
tonight
The stars shine so bright
If only just this moment
Maybe,
just maybe...
When I see your face,
I’m captured by your smile
Singing songs
and writing rhymes,
my heart and soul
take over me
I look into your eyes,
I’m enraptured in light
Dreaming dreams,
I’m mesmerized
Oh, your heart is gold
It sings to me,
My love
