First of May
Time's Dance: Love's Evolution in the Shadow of May
Lyrics
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
Reflecting on childhood when Christmas trees were large.
We used to love while others used to play.
Expressing a contrast between their love and others' playfulness.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Uncertain about the reason, acknowledging the passage of time.
Someone else moved in from far away.
Noticed someone new entering their lives from a distant place.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
Now grown up, reminiscing about the past when Christmas trees seemed bigger.
And you don't ask the time of day.
Not concerned about trivial matters like time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
Despite changes, emphasizing that their love will endure.
But guess who'll cry come first of May.
Hinting at future sorrow, suggesting someone will cry on the first of May.
The apple tree that grew for you and me,
Referring to an apple tree symbolizing shared experiences.
I watched the apples falling one by one.
Observing the falling apples, possibly representing moments slipping away.
And as I recall the moment of them all,
Recalling a significant moment, the day of a farewell kiss.
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.
Expressing the emotional impact of a loved one's departure.
Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
Reiterating changes in size and significance of Christmas trees.
And you don't ask the time of day.
Continuing the theme of not worrying about the passage of time.
But you and I, our love will never die,
Reassuring the enduring nature of their love despite life's changes.
But guess who'll cry come first of May.
Repeating the hint of future sorrow on the first of May.
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
Recalling childhood, repeating the imagery of tall Christmas trees.
Do do do do do do do do do
Non-lyrical placeholder or emphasis.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Reiterating the uncertainty about the passing of time.
Someone else moved in from far away.
Noting the entrance of someone new from a distant location.
