Isn't This A Lovely Day
Diana Krall/Diana Krall/The Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way
But as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
The turn in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain
Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke and oh!
What a break for me
I can see the sun up high
Tho' we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
As long as I can be with you it's a lovely day
Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain
Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke and oh!
What a break for me
I can see the sun up high
Tho' we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
As long as I can be with you
As long as I can be with you
As long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day
The lyrics of the song portray the joy of being in someone’s company in spite of a thunderous weather forecast.

She further emphasizes that the bad weather would make them stay together, and as long as she is with her companion, it remains a lovely day despite the weather.
The song also highlights the lead singer’s plea for her partner not to leave her stranded in the midst of a wintry rainstorm. She uses the circumstance to leverage her persuasion to convince her partner of possible future comforts from current discomfort. The song's lyrics capture the beauty and excitement that can exist in a relationship when two people are caught in the rain, providing a perfect opportunity to bond and create a memory that would last a lifetime. The overall theme of the song is that it's the potential that lies beneath those unpleasant experiences that makes life beautiful.
Line by Line Meaning
The weather is fright'ning
The weather is scary and alarming
The thunder and lightning
The loud, rumbling sound and bright flashes of light in the sky
Seem to be having their way
Appear to be dominating and controlling the situation
But as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
Despite the bad weather, I think it's still a beautiful day
The turn in the weather
The change in the weather
Will keep us together
Will prevent us from separating or going our separate ways
So I can honestly say
I can truthfully state
That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
In my personal opinion, it is still a beautiful day
And everything's O.K.
And everything is going well
Isn't this a lovely day
Isn't it a wonderful day
To be caught in the rain?
To be stuck outside during a rain shower
You were going on your way
You were leaving or going somewhere else
Now you've got to remain
Now you have to stay with me due to the bad weather
Just as you were going, leaving me all at sea
Just as you were leaving and making me feel lost and confused
The clouds broke, they broke and oh!
The clouds suddenly cleared, and oh!
What a break for me
What a stroke of luck for me
I can see the sun up high
I can see the sun high up in the sky
Tho' we're caught in the storm
Even though we are stuck in the bad weather
I can see where you and I
I can imagine a scenario where we
Could be cozy and warm
Could be comfortable and warm
Let the rain pitter patter
Let the rain make a light tapping or splashing sound
But it really doesn't matter
But it doesn't make a difference
If the skies are gray
If the sky is overcast and cloudy
As long as I can be with you it's a lovely day
As long as I am with you, it is still a beautiful day
