Huckleberry Wine
Memories in Huckleberry Wine
Lyrics
Going through a box of my old things
Reflecting on personal history, exploring old belongings.
I found a couple pictures from the summer I turned 18
Discovering pictures from a significant summer at 18.
It was you and me and that fire beside the lake
Recalling a moment by the lake with a fire, shared with someone special.
We didn't know how much time we had but we knew how much we'd take
Aware of uncertainty regarding time but determined to make the most of it.
Huckleberry wine will always remind me of your smile
Huckleberry wine is associated with a memorable smile.
The summer we had nothing but time to fall in love by the campfire
Describing a summer with ample time for love by the campfire.
Your eyes shined as bright as that August moon
The brightness of the eyes is compared to the August moon.
That told me you'd be far away too soon
A realization that the person will be leaving soon.
So we made the most of our precious time
Embracing and cherishing the limited time available.
We drank the rest of that huckleberry wine
Symbolic act of concluding the huckleberry wine, possibly representing the end of a phase.
That was the last time that I saw your face
Referring to the final encounter before a significant departure.
You left in the morning for Arizona State
Mentioning the departure to Arizona State in the morning.
We always swore that we'd call and that we'd write
Expressing commitment to communication despite life's challenges.
But I know life gets in the way and you just can't fine the time
Acknowledging the difficulty of finding time due to life's demands.
Huckleberry wine will always remind me of your smile
Reiterating the association of huckleberry wine with a special smile.
The summer we had nothing but time to fall in love by the campfire
Recounting a summer with abundant time for love near a campfire.
Your eyes shined as bright as that August moon
Comparing the brightness of eyes to the August moon, signaling an impending departure.
That told me you'd be far away too soon
Anticipating that the person will leave soon.
So we made the most of our precious time
Emphasizing the value of making the most of the limited time available.
We drank the rest of that huckleberry wine
Symbolizing the completion of the huckleberry wine, marking the end of a significant period.
We snuck out with a bottle of wine, had ourselves the time of our lives
Recounting a rebellious and memorable moment with a bottle of wine.
Just a couple kids with stars in our eyes
Describing a time of youth and idealism.
Huckleberry wine will always remind me of your smile
Reaffirming the lasting association between huckleberry wine and a cherished smile.
The summer we had nothing but time to fall in love by the campfire
Recalling a summer with ample time for love by the campfire, echoing earlier sentiments.
Your eyes shined as bright as that August moon
Repeating the comparison of eyes to the August moon, emphasizing the impending departure.
That told me you'd be far away too soon
Expressing the expectation that the person will leave soon.
So we made the most of our precious time
Stressing the importance of maximizing the limited time available.
We drank the rest of that huckleberry wine
Concluding with the image of finishing the huckleberry wine, symbolizing the end of a significant chapter.
