Oops. I put my seven year old daughter's lyrics in there. She always sings "Not just in jeans." lol. Yes, we both love this enchanting song. The real lyrics, "Not just in DREAMS" still fits with the May/December theme though. The desire to live a life with December and not just dream about their time together. Cheers and chuckles... |

While I agree that this song most likely has a literal meaning regarding the month of December, I believe the lyrics are also very relatable to a May/December (young woman/older man) romance from May's (younger woman's) point of view. It's not unheard of for a man to feel he should sacrifice his feelings and end such a relationship (after the initial excitement of being with a younger woman, of course. When the deeper feelings develop and one starts pondering the next step), believing May deserves a life with someone closer to her own age. However, May, deeply in love, wants to live whatever life he has left with him. True, I might be terribly off base here, but I find the lyrics extremely poetic from this point of view... December come to me I hope I can see You not just in jeans (Say, more formally, in marriage garb?) I will let you be (accept you as you are) Why can't you believe How much you really mean? December won't you come Back with snow and sun (aged, but full of life) Don't say that it's done I will carry you home (till death) Take you from The loneliest place you have known I will carry you home Take me from the loneliest I have know (we are meant to be together) Really, I believe that if words are moving (in the name of good, of course;), it's all good. |
