First Of May
Time's Dance: A Love Story Unfolding Through Seasons
Lyrics
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall
Reflecting on childhood when everything seemed grand, including Christmas trees.
We used to love while others used to play
Expressing love during a time when others were more carefree.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Pondering the passage of time without a clear reason for its impact.
Someone else moved in from far away
Noticing the entrance of someone new into the picture from a distant place.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small
Contrasting the past with the present, where both love and Christmas trees have diminished in size.
And you don't ask the time of day
Highlighting a lack of concern for time in the current state of the relationship.
But you and I, our love will never die
Expressing a commitment that transcends the changes in circumstances.
But guess we'll cry come first of May
Anticipating sadness or tears around the first of May, possibly symbolic of a significant event or change.
The apple tree that grew for you and me
Referring to an apple tree that symbolizes shared experiences and memories.
I watched the apples falling one by one
Observing the falling apples, possibly representing moments or aspects of the relationship coming to an end.
And I recall the moment of them all
Recalling a pivotal moment, the day of a meaningful kiss and claiming each other.
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine
Cherishing a specific memory when love was affirmed.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small
Reiterating the contrast between the past and present in terms of size and significance.
And you don't ask the time of day
Emphasizing the unimportance of time in the enduring nature of their love.
But you and I, our love will never die
Reaffirming the eternal quality of their love despite changing circumstances.
But guess we'll cry come first of May
Repeating the expectation of tears or sorrow around the first of May.
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall
Returning to the initial reflection on childhood and grand Christmas trees.
Do do do do do do do do do
A nonsensical interlude, perhaps suggesting a break from the serious tone of the lyrics.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Reiterating the mysterious passing of time without a clear explanation.
Someone else moved in from far away
Acknowledging the intrusion of an outsider into the relationship from afar once again.
