Lyrics meaning

The lyrics move from a bright, peaceful scene into sadness. At first, the speaker describes a lovely day lasting into night, with sweet voices nearby and happiness all around. The mood then changes: the speaker seems to move away from those lively days and is left with thoughts of their life and sorrow. The repeated sounds in the refrain add a musical feeling but do not clearly explain what the speaker feels.

The sun and moon โ€œbehindโ€ the speaker may suggest time passing, or leaving a familiar part of life behind. The image of tears on the heart expresses deep inner sadness, rather than just a moment of crying. Sweet voices nearby may point to companionship or comforting memories, though the lyrics do not say exactly who those voices belong to.

One reading is that the speaker remembers a happy time that has ended and feels the loss keenly. But the change from joy to grief is not fully explained: the sadness might come from separation, change, or simply looking back on life. The song holds both feelings together, leaving the source of the sorrow open.
