First Of May
Timeless Love Blossoms: First of May
Lyrics
When we were small and
Reflecting on childhood memories when everything seemed larger.
Christmas trees were tall
Nostalgia for a time when Christmas trees were significant symbols.
We used to love while others used to play
Contrasting personal experiences of love with others' playful activities.
Don't ask me why the time has passed me by
Expressing uncertainty about the passage of time and its impact.
Nothing seems to be the same old way
Feeling that nothing remains the same as in the past.
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
Noting the reversal of size between the speaker and Christmas trees.
And you don't ask the time of day
Indifference to the time of day, indicating a changed perspective.
But you and I, our love will never ever die
Asserting enduring love that transcends the passage of time.
And guess who cried come first of May
Referencing a significant event or date, the first of May, associated with emotional distress.
The apple tree that grew for you and me
Symbolic mention of an apple tree representing shared experiences.
I watched the apples falling one by one
Observing the falling apples, possibly signifying the passage of time.
And I recall the moment of them all
Recalling a pivotal moment among various memories.
The day I kissed your cheeks
Highlighting a specific memory of affection through a kiss.
And you were gone
Expressing a sense of loss as the person disappeared from the speaker's life.
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
Reiteration of the contrast between the present and past.
And you don't ask the time of day
Continued indifference to the current time, emphasizing changed priorities.
But you and I, our love will never ever die
Reaffirming the enduring nature of the speaker's love.
And guess who cries come first of May
Revisiting emotional distress associated with the first of May.
And guess who cries come first of May
Repetition of the emotional impact tied to the first of May.
