Things
Nostalgic Echoes: Rediscovering Love's Timeless Moments
Lyrics
Every night I sit here by my window (window)
Expressing a regular nightly routine of sitting by the window.
Starin' at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Observing a desolate street or path from the window.
Watching lovers holdin' hand 'n' laughin' (laughin')
Witnessing happy couples holding hands and laughing.
And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Reflecting on past shared experiences and activities.
(Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park
Recalling simple pleasures, like a walk in the park.
(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
Remembering intimate moments, such as a kiss in the dark.
(Things) Like a sailboat ride
Nostalgia for enjoyable times, like a sailboat ride.
(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?
Questioning or reminiscing about a past night of crying.
Things like a lover's vow
Reflecting on promises made in a romantic relationship.
Things that we don't do now
Not engaging in those romantic gestures anymore.
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Continuing to think about past shared experiences.
Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to)
Emphasizing that memories are the only things left.
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to (talkin' to)
Indicating that heartaches are now the only companions.
When I'm not thinkin' of-a just how much I love you (love you)
Talking to heartaches about the depth of love.
Well, I'm-a thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Revisiting thoughts about past shared experiences.
(Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park
Reiterating memories of a walk in the park.
(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
Recalling a romantic kiss in the dark.
(Things) Like a sailboat ride
Nostalgia for a pleasant sailboat ride.
(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?
Asking about a specific night of crying from the past.
Things like a lover's vow
Reflecting on broken promises in love.
Things that we don't do now
Not engaging in those promises anymore.
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Continuing to think about past shared experiences.
I still can hear the jukebox softly playin' (playin')
Hearing a jukebox playing softly, triggering memories.
And the face I see each day belongs to you (belongs to you)
Connecting the face seen daily to the person being missed.
Though there's not a single sound and there's nobody else around
Noticing silence and absence, intensifying the longing.
Well, it's-a just me thinkin' of the things we used to do
Thinking alone about past shared experiences.
(Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park
Recalling memories of a walk in the park.
(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
Remembering a romantic kiss in the dark.
(Things) Like a sailboat ride
Nostalgia for a delightful sailboat ride.
(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?
Persisting thoughts about a night of crying in the past.
Things like a lover's vow
Reflecting on broken promises in love.
Things that we don't do now
Not engaging in those promises anymore.
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Continuing to think about past shared experiences.
And the heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
Reiterating that heartaches are now the companions.
Ya got me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Acknowledging the impact of memories on thoughts.
FADE
Fade-out of the song.
Starin' at the lonely avenue.....
Repeating the imagery of staring at a lonely avenue.
