First of May
Eternal Love and Passing Time: First of May's Poignant Tale
Lyrics
When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
Reflecting on childhood memories when Christmas trees seemed large.
We used to love while others used to play
Recalling a time of love while others engaged in play.
Don't ask me why but time has passed us by
Expressing uncertainty about the passage of time and its impact on the relationship.
Someone else moved in from far away
Indicating the entry of another person into their lives from a distant place.
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
Contrasting the past, where they were small, with the present, where Christmas trees seem small.
And you don't ask the time of day
Highlighting a shift where the time of day is no longer relevant in their relationship.
But you and I our love will never die
Expressing a belief that their love is enduring despite the changes.
But guess we'll cry come first of May
Anticipating sadness or tears around the first of May, suggesting a significant event or anniversary.
The Apple tree that grew for you and me
Symbolizing an apple tree that grew for both individuals.
I watched the apples falling one by one
Observing apples falling, possibly representing the passage of time or events.
And I recall the moment of them all
Recalling a poignant moment, possibly the separation or loss of a loved one.
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone
Describing a significant day when a kiss was followed by the departure of a loved one.
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
Reiterating the contrast in size between their past and present selves and Christmas trees.
And you don't ask the time of day
Reaffirming that time no longer matters in their current state of love.
But you and I our love will never die
Reassuring the enduring nature of their love despite the changes.
But guess we'll cry come first of May
Revisiting the expectation of tears around the first of May, emphasizing emotional significance.
When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
Repeating the initial scene from childhood, reinforcing the cyclical nature of life.
Do do do do do do do do do
Utilizing nonsensical sounds, possibly for rhythmic or poetic effect.
Don't ask me why but time has passed us by
Reiterating the uncertainty about the passage of time and its impact on their relationship.
Someone else moved in from far away
Confirming the presence of someone new who entered their lives from a distant place.
