Here's That Rainy Day
Chris Botti & Rosa Passos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here
The song "Here's That Rainy Day" is a jazz classic that was first introduced in 1953 by the singer and bandleader Tommy Edwards. Through the years, it has been covered by various artists, including Chris Botti and Rosa Passos, who gave it a new spin with their rendition. The song tells the story of a person who looks back at his past mistakes and missed opportunities, and now finds himself alone and facing a gloomy future. He reflects on the decisions he made in the past and wonders where he went wrong. The melancholic tone of the song captures the sadness and regret of the singer as he faces a rainy day, which symbolizes his feelings of loss and loneliness.
The lyrics of the song are powerful in their simplicity. The metaphor of the rainy day is used to represent the singer's emotional state, as he faces the coldness and emptiness of his life. The line "Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day" is particularly striking in its insightfulness. The singer acknowledges the fact that love can turn into sadness and disappointment, leaving him alone and hopeless. The song is a reflection on the fleeting nature of love and the inevitability of regret, and it resonates with anyone who has experienced heartbreak and loss.
Line by Line Meaning
Maybe I should have saved those left over dreams
Perhaps I should have held onto my unfulfilled aspirations
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Ironically, the day I was warned about has arrived
Here's that rainy day they told me about
This is the exact day I was cautioned to prepare for
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way
I initially scoffed at the possibility of this day, but now it's a reality
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
Where did the desire I gave up on go?
After it brought my lover near
After that wish magically brought my loved one into my life
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
It's ironic how a once warm and happy love can become a dismal and gloomy reality
Funny, that rainy day is here
Ironically, that bitter reality has finally come to fruition
