In a poignant reflection on youthful romance and the passage of time, Shania Twain's lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing. The narrator reminisces about a significant moment shared with a past lover, symbolized by the "last day of summer" and their "first kiss." The song juxtaposes the innocence and excitement of young love with the inevitable changes brought by time. The recurring question about whether the former lover got married or built a house by the lake underscores the uncertainties and paths not taken in life. The imagery of sleepless nights and vivid memories suggests that these moments remain indelibly etched in the narrator's mind, surfacing every September. Ultimately, Twain captures the bittersweet essence of cherished memories that linger, even as seasons change and life moves forward.
Last Day of Summer
Lyrics
I think you're funny
You think I'm smart
'Cause I can name the planets
All by heart
Almost touching
But too shy to start
Eyes wide open
It's way past dark
It's too late to sleep now
The valley's wide awake
The early train's pulling out
Too wired to come down
It's the last day of summer
And the first kiss on my lover's mouth
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
Did you get married
Or did you wait?
Did you ever build that house
Down by the lake?
Nights still find me
Lying awake
'Cause every time I close my eyes
I see your face
It's too late to sleep now (too late to sleep now)
The valley's wide awake
The early train's pulling out
Too high to come down (too high to come down)
The last day of summer
Was the first kiss on my lover's mouth
Oh, the last time we were together
Is the first thing I remember
Every time September comes
Oh, but it's too late to sleep now
The last day of summer
And the first kiss on my lover's mouth
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Do do do do, do do do do) (ooh, ooh)
(Do do do do, do do do do) (ooh, ooh)
The last time we were together
Is the first thing I remember
Every time September comes
The last time we were together
Is the first thing I remember
Every time September comes
But it's too late to sleep now
It's the last day of summer
And the first kiss on my lover's mouth
