This Morning It Was Summer
Chasing Seasons of Love: Nat King Cole's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
This morning it was summer
This morning signifies a time of joy or happiness.
I remember long ago
Recollection of a distant past.
A skylark on my shoulder told me so
An imagined or remembered moment of happiness indicated by a skylark's presence.
This morning we were lovers
A past moment of being in a romantic relationship.
We were happy and we were gay
Expressing the joy and contentment experienced during that time.
But now, love you are somewhere far away
The partner is no longer present or reachable.
You left me in the sunshine, now there is rain
Transition from happiness to sadness or distress due to separation.
Oh I tried so hard to find you
An attempt to reconnect or reconcile after the separation.
But all my searching was in vain
Efforts made to find the lost love were unsuccessful.
This evening it is winter
Contrast between the current state of coldness or desolation.
Yet my heart sounds this alarm
Emotional distress or concern expressed by the heart despite the external season being different.
This morning it was summer in your arms
Remembering a past time of happiness spent in the embrace of the lost love.
Yes I tried so hard to find you
Continued efforts to reconnect after the separation.
But all my searching was in vain
Reiteration of unsuccessful attempts to reunite.
This evening it is winter
Reiteration of the contrast between the external season and the inner emotional state.
Yet my heart sounds this alarm
Despite the change in seasons, inner distress persists.
This morning it was summer in your arms
Recalling the warmth and happiness experienced in the past relationship.
Summer in, summer in your arms.
Highlighting the memory of happiness felt specifically within the embrace of the lost love.
