April In Paris
Allison Adams Tucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just after I'd wiped away his last tear
I guess he's better off than he was before
c whole lot better off than the fools he left here
I used to cry for Tracy 'cause he was my only friend
Those kind of cars don't pass u every day
I used to cry for Tracy because I wanted to see him again
But sometimes, sometimes life ain't always the way
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
cnd all good things, they say, never last
Springtime was always my favorite time of year
c time for lovers holding hands in the rain
Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
clways cry for love, never cry for pain
He used to say so strong, unafraid to die
Unafraid of the death that left me
Hypnotized
No, staring at his picture I realized
No one could cry the way my Tracy cried
Sometimes it snows in cpril
Sometimes I feel so bad
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending
But all good things, they say, never last
I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
I know that he has found another friend
Maybe he's found the answer to all the cpril snow
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again
Sometimes it snows in cpril
Sometimes I feel so bad
So bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
But all good things, they say, never last
But all good things they say, never last
cnd love, it isn't love until it's past
These lyrics tell the story of a person named Tracy who died after a long civil war. The singer reflects on their close friendship with Tracy and how they used to cry for him because he was their only friend. The mention of Tracy's tears suggests that he went through a lot of pain and suffering before his death. The singer acknowledges that Tracy is now in a better place, free from the struggles and hardships of life, unlike the fools that he left behind.
The song explores the theme of longing and the fleeting nature of life. The singer admits that they wanted to see Tracy again, but sometimes life doesn't work out the way we want it to. They use the metaphor of snow in April to represent the unexpected and undesirable aspects of life. It's a reminder that life can sometimes be difficult and disappointing.
The lyrics also touch upon the nostalgia associated with springtime. The singer used to enjoy this time of year, particularly for the romantic moments it brings. However, spring now reminds them of Tracy's tears, hinting at the pain and loss they experienced. The contrast between love and pain is highlighted, with the suggestion that it's more natural to cry for love rather than for one's own suffering.
Towards the end of the song, the singer dreams of Tracy being in heaven and finding happiness and friendship there. They speculate that maybe Tracy has discovered the answer to why there is snow in April, which can be interpreted as finding peace and resolution to life's unexpected hardships. The lyrics conclude with the idea that love is not truly love until it has passed, implying that love is most cherished when it has been lost or gone.
