The Story of a Broken Heart
Melancholy Springtime Serenade
Lyrics
The story of a broken heart
The narrative of a heart that has been shattered emotionally.
Well the springtime is coming
Spring is approaching.
And the honeybees are humming
Symbolizing renewal with the imagery of bees buzzing.
And I just saw a robin flying by
An observation of a robin in flight, possibly signifying hope or change.
While your wedding bells are ringing
Wedding bells are ringing for someone else.
My poor heart is singing
The narrator's heart is in pain while witnessing the joyful occasion.
The story of a broken heart
Reiteration of the central theme - a heart that has been broken.
The story of a broken heart
Repetition emphasizing the emotional impact of the broken heart.
When the trees start to budding
With the budding of trees, memories resurface.
And the memories start to flooding
The narrator is flooded with memories.
And my heart takes a trip to yesterday
The heart nostalgically travels back to the past.
When we walked neath the moon
Recollection of a time spent walking under the moon.
And our love was in bloom
Reflecting on a period when love was flourishing.
Now we're two lovers drifted apart
The lovers are now separated, marking the brokenness of the heart.
The story of a broken heart
Reiteration of the central theme, emphasizing the broken heart.
Now the wedding invitations
Shift to wedding preparations and invitations.
Were sent out to your relations
Invitations sent to the bride's family and friends.
But you ask me to give the bride away
The narrator is asked to give the bride away, signifying a painful duty.
Although I can't show it
Despite emotions, the narrator is unable to express it outwardly.
I think that you'll know it
Belief that the feelings are evident without explicit expression.
A story that's told from my heart
The story being narrated is heartfelt and sincere.
The story of a broken heart
Reiteration of the central theme, emphasizing the broken heart once again.
