What a Difference a Day Makes
Betty Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterdays were blue, dear
Today I′m part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine
What a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can′t be stormy
Since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day makes
And the difference is you
The song What a Difference a Day Makes was originally written in Spanish by the songwriter Maria Grever in 1934, with the title "Cuando Vuelva a Tu Lado," which means "when I return to your side."

The phrase "what a difference a day makes" emphasizes how quickly her fortunes have turned, with just one day bringing sunshine and flowers instead of rain. She contrasts her previous loneliness with the joy she now feels as part of a couple, with the "thrilling kiss" symbolizing the moment when everything changed.
