First of May
Eternal Love Amidst Changing Seasons
Lyrics
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
Reflecting on childhood when everything seemed larger, including Christmas trees, and love was experienced while others played.
We used to love while others used to play.
Emphasizing the contrast between their love and the carefree activities of others during their youth.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Expressing uncertainty about why time has separated them and changed their circumstances.
Someone else moved in from far away.
Noting the entrance of someone else into the picture, potentially causing the separation.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
Highlighting the passage of time and the reversal of roles—now they are tall, and Christmas trees are small.
And you don't ask the time of day.
Indicating a lack of concern for trivial matters like the time of day, possibly due to the enduring nature of their love.
But you and I, our love will never die,
Asserting the enduring nature of their love, despite the changes in their lives.
But guess we'll cry come first of May.
Anticipating a future emotional moment, possibly linked to the first of May, where tears may be shed.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
Referring to an apple tree symbolizing their shared experiences, and the process of watching their shared moments fade away.
I watched the apples falling one by one.
Recalling the physical act of watching apples fall, representing the gradual loss of their shared experiences.
And I recall the moment of them all,
Highlighting a specific moment, the day of a significant kiss, as a memorable point in their shared history.
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.
Recalling the poignant moment when the other person left after the kiss.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
Reiterating the theme of changed proportions, emphasizing the passage of time and the diminishment of Christmas trees.
And you don't ask the time of day.
Reiterating the lack of concern for time, with a focus on the enduring nature of their love.
But you and I, our love will never die,
Reaffirming the lasting quality of their love despite life's changes.
But guess we'll cry come first of May.
Reiterating the expectation of emotional moments, possibly tears, on the first of May.
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
Returning to the reflection on childhood, Christmas trees, and the passage of time.
Do do do do do do do do do...
Introducing a nonspecific vocalization, potentially representing an emotional response or a lack of words.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Repeating the uncertainty about the passage of time and the entrance of someone else into their lives.
Someone else moved in from far away.
Reiterating the impact of an outsider entering their story from a distant place.
