Spring of the Following Year
Embracing Love's Promise
Lyrics
Where will it lead?
Uncertainty about the future and its direction.
The spring of the following year
Referring to the upcoming spring.
After the winter has fled from our bones
After a challenging period (winter), possibly symbolizing hardship or difficulties.
The only thing I know for sure
Expressing a certainty amid uncertainty.
Is that I will love you even more
Commitment to love, with an implication of increasing intensity.
Even more
Reiteration of the deepening love mentioned in line 5.
What will it bring?
Anticipation for what the future holds.
The spring of the following year
Reiteration of the reference to the upcoming spring.
Will there be flowers to shower our hearts?
Hope for positive and beautiful experiences symbolized by flowers.
With vines that climb around our door?
Desire for a relationship to flourish and be adorned with natural beauty.
And will you love me even more?
Positivity about love deepening further in the future.
Yes, even more
Reiteration of the increasing intensity of love.
For love is our city on the hill
Metaphorical description of love as a prominent, elevated place in their lives.
And don’t it seem pretty from our window sill
Appreciation of the beauty of love from their perspective.
What birds will sing?
Curiosity about the songs or expressions of love in the future.
In the spring of the following year
Reiteration of the reference to the upcoming spring.
Will there be new birds with words from above?
Expectation of new, meaningful expressions of love.
Guess no one really knows for sure
Acknowledgment of the uncertainty surrounding the future.
But I will love you even more
Commitment to love despite uncertainties and challenges.
Even more
Reiteration of the increasing intensity of love.
