À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'histoire d'un couple qui, fraîchement marié, part pour la Californie, laissant leurs amis à Boston célébrer leur bonheur. Au fil du temps, ils s'installent avec un enfant, semblant vivre une vie heureuse et ordinaire. Cependant, la tragédie frappe lorsque la femme meurt subitement après une simple visite chez le médecin. Le homme, après sa perte, finit par déménager à Los Angeles et se remarie avec une jeune femme riche. Cette narration met en lumière les hauts et les bas de la vie, illustrant la fragilité du bonheur.
