Lyrics
I should have seen the darkening in the afternoon
I failed to recognize the impending darkness during the afternoon.
Didn’t realise the end would come so soon
I didn't comprehend that the end was approaching so swiftly.
Things were unusual though
Despite things being unusual, I didn't grasp the significance.
It hit me like a blow
The realization struck me suddenly and forcefully.
When the storm was over she was gone away
After the storm passed, she had departed.
Got her suitcase packed, she didn’t want to stay
She had her bags packed, indicating her desire to leave.
Someday we’ll meet again
Expressing hope for a future reunion.
Somewhere behind the rain
The reunion is anticipated somewhere beyond the obstacles.
You will be my girl and I will be your man
Expressing commitment to a relationship; "You will be my girl, and I will be your man."
Let’s kiss and dance beneath the summer rain
Inviting to share intimate moments despite challenges ("beneath the summer rain").
And we will sing it all, sing this old Irish song, all along
Envisioning a future of togetherness, expressed through an old Irish song.
You will be my girl and I will be your man
Reiterating commitment and mutual roles in the relationship.
Let’s kiss and dance beneath the summer rain
Repeating the invitation to share moments in the rain, emphasizing unity.
We’ll sing it now all together this Irish song
Emphasizing the communal experience of singing the Irish song together.
There are times when I long for her like today
Reflecting on the longing for the departed person, possibly regretting her leaving.
What would have become of us if she had stayed
Ruminating on the hypothetical outcomes if she had stayed.
Would it still be the same?
Pondering whether the relationship would have remained unchanged.
Would it be love or pain?
Questioning whether the outcome would have been love or pain.
Just the other day I saw her from afar
Observing the person from a distance recently.
With another man, she got into his car
Noting her association with another man, possibly provoking mixed emotions.
But love lost will be found
Expressing a belief that lost love can be rediscovered, indicating optimism.
And things will turn around
Conveying the idea that circumstances can change, and things may improve.
