Lyrics meaning
The speaker learns from a letter that his former partner has ended their relationship and found someone else. He reacts with shock and uncertainty, asking what he should do. His thoughts then return to their romantic beginning, so the song moves between present heartbreak and a vivid, tender memory.
Walking together on the sand and holding hands suggest closeness and a shared moment of freedom. The remembered smile, touch, and kiss make the past feel warm and immediate, in contrast with the painful letter. When he asks, โWhatever happened toโ the girl he knew, he may be struggling to reconcile the person in his memory with the person who has left him.
The question about what to do with the night he gave her is deliberately unclear. It may refer to the memory itself, or to the intimacy and trust he shared with her. The final question changes from asking what he will do to asking what she will do, leaving the speakerโs feelings unresolved. The lyrics do not explain why she left or whether he hopes they will reunite; they focus instead on loss, longing, and the difficulty of letting go.
