Earlier Summer Night
Memories of an Earlier Summer Night: Love and Regret
Lyrics
Me and you, my dear
Expressing a connection between the speaker and their beloved.
You as Queen Goneril, me as King Lear
Referencing Shakespeare's characters from "King Lear," likening themselves and their partner to these figures.
That was a wonderful day of earlier summer
Reflecting on a beautiful day from an earlier summer, possibly nostalgic or reminiscent of a joyful time shared.
That was a wonderful day of earlier summer
Reiterating the sentiment of a wonderful day in the past.
Let us drink a glass of wine
Suggesting the idea of celebrating or toasting the moment with a glass of wine.
You as Queen Goneril, me as King Lear
Repeating the comparison between the speaker and their partner to the characters from "King Lear."
That was a wonderful day of earlier summer
Reiterating the memory of a beautiful day from an earlier summer.
That was a wonderful day of earlier summer
Reinforcing the idea of a wonderful day experienced previously.
