Well, the 8 means that there are, jeez it's hard to explain but you know how there are 4 beats in a bar? Well if there are 8 NOTES in a bar, but 4 BEATS in a bar, then that means that the 8 notes are all quavers. This means that the BEATS are all counted in QUAVERS [Taa-aas] . The 6 represents how many BEATS in a bar. This is quite unusual for a beginner because the 6 in this song means that there are 6 BEATS in a bar, not 4. Altogether, it means that there are 6 QUAVER beats in a bar.

To make it easier for you, 4/4 timing:

The first 4 means that there are 4 NOTES in a bar, which means that the song is counted in CROTCHETS [Taas]. The second 4 represents how many BEATS in a bar. Altogether, it means that there 4 CROTCHET beats in a bar.
