The Song Is Ended
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A moment of bliss we spent
Our hearts were filled with a song of romance
As into the night we went
And sang to our hearts' content
The song is ended
But the melody lingers on
But the melody lingers on
The night was splendid
And the melody seemed to say
"Summer will pass away
Take your happiness while you may"
There 'neath the light of the moon
We sang a love song that ended too soon
The moon descended
And I found with the break of dawn
You and the song had gone
In "The Song Is Ended", Ella Fitzgerald reflects on a past romantic encounter that has now come to an end. As she reminisces on this moment of bliss, she remembers a heavenly dance that she shared with her lover. Their hearts were filled with a song of romance and they sang together to their hearts' content. However, as the night ended, the song came to an end but the melody lingered on. The melody of the song served as a reminder of their time together and the happiness they felt that night.
As the morning comes, Ella Fitzgerald awakens to the realization that the moment has passed and her lover is gone. Despite the feelings of longing and regret, the melody of the song continues to linger on in her memory. The lyrics express the bittersweet experience of love and loss - even though the song is ended and the lover is gone, the memory and the melody continue to endure.
Overall, "The Song Is Ended" captures the beauty and fleeting nature of love. It reminds us to cherish the moments we have with our loved ones while we can and to hold onto the memories and melodies that remind us of those experiences.

The weather is frightening
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
And everything's okay
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
Though 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
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

I can’t help but play this whenever it’s raining. These two artists are amazing within themselves but when they collaborated it’s absolutely magical! One of my favorite songs of all time.
