It's A Quiet Town
Danny Kaye & The Andrews Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were more than sweethearts,
It's so hard to understand.
Don't know why it happened,
Don't know how it started,
Why should we be strangers,
After all we planned.
I can't show my face,
Can't go anyplace,
People stop an' stare,
It's so hard to bear,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town
Every time we meet,
My heart skips a beat,
We don't stop to speak,
'Though it's just a week,
Everybody knows you left me,
It's the talk of the town
We send out invitations,
To friends and relations,
Announcing our weddin' day
Friends and our relations,
Gave congratulations,
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town
How can you face them?
What can you say?
Let's make up sweetheart,
We can't stay apart,
Don't let foolish pride,
Keep you from my side,
How can love like ours be ended?
It's the talk of the town, hm
It's the talk of the town.
In "It's a Quiet Town," The Andrews Sisters sing about a failed relationship and the aftermath of their breakup. The opening lines, "We were more than lovers, we were more than sweethearts, it's so hard to understand," suggest that the relationship was significant and meaningful to both parties. However, something went wrong, and they are now strangers to one another. The second verse explains that the breakup has left the singer feeling ashamed, as the news of their split has spread throughout town, and people are staring at them. They are struggling to get over each other, as they don't even speak when they see each other.
The last verse seems to be a plea to try and salvage their relationship. They had already announced their wedding day to their loved ones, only to have to face the embarrassment of calling it off. The singer begs her former lover not to let their pride and foolishness ruin their love. The final line, "It's the talk of the town," suggests that the singer is still holding out hope for a reconciliation, but the gossip about their relationship has already spread far and wide.
