Summer of Love
Eternal Embrace: Reliving the Summer of Love with Martina McBride
Lyrics
The summer wind was blowin' cold,
The summer atmosphere felt chilly.
But our hearts were still on fire.
Despite the cold, our emotions and passion were still strong.
The harvest moon was takin' over,
The full moon associated with the harvest season was taking control.
And the long days growin' in time
The lengthy days were maturing over time.
"Kiss me one more time," you said
You requested one final kiss.
"Kiss me so I won't forget,
Expressing a desire not to be forgotten through the kiss.
So I can have this feeling even when you're gone"
The wish to retain the emotional experience even in the absence of the person.
I remember how time stood still and how you made me feel
Recollection of a moment when time seemed to stand still and the emotional impact.
Like you were mine forever, lying there together, that summer of love
Feeling as if the person belonged to you forever during that summer of love.
Tangled up in a big blue sky, like we could almost fly
Immersed in a vast, optimistic sky, suggesting a feeling of liberation.
And every now and then I wonder if you think about us
Reflecting on whether the other person reminisces about the shared experience.
And that summer of love, that summer of love
Nostalgia for the memorable moments of the summer of love.
Now and then I get that feeling,
Occasional rekindling of a particular emotion.
And it pulls me back again.
A feeling that draws the speaker back to a specific time.
Back to the night when you were leavin',
Recalling a night when the person was departing, hoping it would never end.
Prayin' it would never end.
A prayer for the continuity of the intense experience.
"Kiss me one more time," you said
A repetition of the request for a final kiss.
"Kiss me like you won't forget it,
Asking for a memorable and impactful kiss.
Didn't wanna let go, just kept holdin' on
Reluctance to let go, holding onto the moment.
I remember how time stood still and how you made me feel
Recollection of a time when emotions were profound and time stood still.
Like you were mine forever, lying there together, that summer of love
Feeling as if the person belonged to you forever during that summer of love (repeated).
Tangled up in a big blue sky, like we could almost fly
Immersed in a vast, optimistic sky, like the possibility of flying (repeated).
And every now and then I wonder if you think about us
Wondering if the other person also reflects on the shared experience (repeated).
And that summer of love, yeah
Nostalgia for the memorable moments of the summer of love (repeated).
The summer wind was blowin' cold,
A repetition of the initial setting, emphasizing the contrast between external conditions and internal emotions.
But our hearts were still on fire.
Despite the cold summer wind, hearts remained passionate (repeated).
I remember how time stood still and how you made me feel
Recollection of a time when emotions were profound and time stood still (repeated).
Like you were mine forever, lying there together, that summer of love
Feeling as if the person belonged to you forever during that summer of love (repeated).
Tangled up in a big blue sky, like we could almost fly
Immersed in a vast, optimistic sky, like the possibility of flying (repeated).
And every now and then I can't stop thinkin' 'bout us
Occasional inability to stop thinking about the shared experience.
And that summer of love, that summer of love
Nostalgia for the memorable moments of the summer of love (repeated).
