The verses contain the lines "Summer day passed by my love / It turn summer what I'm dreaming on / Sandy summer, sunny May, forever!", which suggest that the singer has been waiting for this summer and hoping that it will bring them the love they crave.

The repetition of the chorus and the simple lyrics convey a sense of urgency and desperation, as if the singer is pleading with their love interest to give them a chance.
