Hello, Young Lovers
Timeless Tales of Love: Hello, Young Lovers' Melodic Memoir
Lyrics
When I think of Tom
Reflecting on someone named Tom
I think about a night
Recalling a specific night
When the earth smelled of summer
Describing a summer-scented earth
And the sky was streaked with white
Depicting a sky streaked with white
And the soft mist of England
Mentioning the soft mist of England on a hill
was sleeping on a hill
Emphasizing the sleeping atmosphere
I remember this
Recollection of the mentioned night
And I always will
Expressing a lasting memory
There are new lovers now
Introducing the idea of new lovers
on the same silent hill
Referencing a silent hill shared by new lovers
Looking on the same blue sea
Describing a common view of the blue sea
And I know Tom and I
Asserting a connection between the speaker (I) and Tom
are a part of them all
Implying that the speaker and Tom are part of all new lovers
And they're all a part of Tom and me
Stressing the interconnectedness of new lovers with the speaker and Tom
Hello Young lovers whoever you are
Greeting young lovers and expressing curiosity about their identities
I hope your troubles are few
Wishing few troubles for the young lovers
All my good wishes go with you tonight
Conveying good wishes for the night
I've been in love like you
Sharing a common experience of being in love
Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star
Encouraging young lovers to be brave and follow their aspirations
Be brave and faithful and true
Advocating bravery, faithfulness, and truth in love
Cling very close to each other tonight
Advising closeness between lovers
I've been in love like you
Reiterating the shared experience of being in love
I know how it feels to have wings on your heels
Understanding the exhilaration of being in love
And to fly down a street in a trance
Depicting the sensation of flying in a trance
You fly down a street on a chance that you'll meet
Describing the anticipation and chance encounters in love
And you meet not really by chance
Highlighting that love meetings are not entirely by chance
Don't cry young lovers whatever you do
Urging young lovers not to cry
Don't cry because I'm alone
Assuring that the speaker is not alone
All of my memories happy tonight
Reminiscing about happy memories
I've had a love of my own
Claiming to have experienced a love of one's own
I've had a love of my own like yours
Repeating the assertion of a personal love experience
I've had a love of my own
Affirming the speaker's history of love
