First of May

First of May - BeeGees

When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,
We used to love while others used to play.
Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and christmas trees are small,
And you don’t ask the time of day.
But you and i, our love will never die,
But guess we’ll cry come first of may.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.

When I was small, and christmas trees were tall,
Do do do do do do do do do...
Don’t ask me why, but time has passed us by,
Some one else moved in from far away.

No, I have not waited patiently for this day so that I could post a song on the date itself.
No, the lyrics do not have any special meaning to me.
But yes, I love the tune to this song, and that sparked off my curiosity for the lyrics.

It's just a little sad, to recognize that time will continually pass us by, and it's even sadder to realize that we just have to let go of the past and live in the present instead. This month of May marks the moment when all of my friends in the US and Singapore will be graduating at last. It affects me to some extent, although there is no reason for it to.
