Lyrics meaning
The lyrics describe loss and sadness, including an unfulfilled dream, a love that ends, and the loneliness that can follow. The speaker encourages trust in time: even after difficult experiences, life can bring new light. The feeling then shifts from general reassurance to a personal memory of a past relationship, with the speaker still hoping for reunion.
The falling leaf suggests that some losses are part of change, even when they feel painful or outside our control. “The sun rises again” is a metaphor for hope and renewal: a dark period will not last forever. The repeated phrase makes this idea sound like a comforting promise, while “trust time” suggests that healing may happen gradually rather than all at once.
The ending leaves room for more than one reading. The speaker may believe that the former loved one will literally return, or may be holding on to that hope because the relationship still matters deeply. The song does not say that sadness disappears immediately; instead, it places grief alongside faith in a brighter future. This tension makes the reassurance feel tender, but also somewhat uncertain.
