It Was Me
Unforgettable Summer Love: It Was Me by Tony Bennett
Lyrics
Who's the one you would find on the beach every day?
The person who spent time frequently at the beach.
Lying there on the shore while his friends swim away
While others swam in the sea, this person stayed lying on the shore.
Lying there in the sand only inches from you
Lying very close to you on the sand.
Watching you everyday till the summer was through
Observing and watching you every day until the end of summer.
It was me
Confirms that this person was the one described in the previous lines.
Who would help gather shells for the bracelet you made?
This person helped in collecting shells for a bracelet.
Who would find you the cups for the pink lemonade?
Assisted in finding cups for making pink lemonade.
Who was always beside you whenever you'd swim
Was consistently present next to you while you were swimming.
When you sat by the sea as the daylight could end
Stayed with you until the end of the day by the sea.
It was me, it was me
Confirms the identity of the person mentioned in previous lines.
Now that summer is gone and the warm skies are cold
Describing the change in season from warm to cold.
And the soft winds are crisp with their wintry chill
Indicating the change in weather conditions.
Do you ever think back on the night when we kissed?
Recalling a specific moment of intimacy, likely a kiss.
Can you ever forget? I know I never will
Expressing the lingering impact of the memory, suggesting it's unforgettable for the speaker.
Who's the one next to you in the group photograph?
Referring to the person seen beside you in a group photo.
Who's the one with the face too unhappy to laugh?
Describing the expression of the person as unhappy, unable to laugh.
Standing there looking down so uncertain and shy
Depicting someone appearing uncertain and shy.
Like a boy who's in love, so in love he could cry
Comparing the demeanor to that of a deeply in love boy who might cry.
It was me, it was me
Confirming the identity of the person in the previous lines.
Me finding out it was you
Realization or discovery that the person referred to previously was actually you.
