Singing in the Rain
Eydie Gormé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just singin' in the rain,
What a glorious feeling,
I'm happy again!
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above,
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love!
Let the stormy clouds chase
Come on with your rain,
I've got a smile on my face!
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain,
Just singin', singin' in the rain!
Why am I smiling and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as Spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start
Happy and head-up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you!
Hey, I'm singin' in the rain,
Just singin' in the rain,
What a glorious feeling,
I'm happy again!
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above,
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love!
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place,
Come on with your rain,
I've got a smile on my face!
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain,
Just singin', singin' in the rain!
In Eydie Gormé's song "Singing In The Rain," the singer appears to be going through a personal transformation brought on by the simple act of singing in the rain. As the lyrics progress, we see the singer's mood shift from being burdened by "clouds so dark up above" to becoming "happy again" and even "ready for love." This transformation is attributed to the sun being in the singer's heart, suggesting that they have found a newfound sense of optimism and positivity.
The second verse of the song provides further insight into the source of this newfound happiness. The singer is living a "life full of you," which may suggest a romantic relationship or the presence of someone special in their life. This connection to another person is what makes each new task a "trifle to do," reinforcing the idea that the singer has found a sense of purpose and joy in their life thanks to this other person.
Overall, "Singing In The Rain" is a joyful, uplifting song about finding happiness and love even in the midst of stormy weather. The act of singing in the rain serves as a metaphor for finding joy and hope even in difficult times, and the presence of another person in the singer's life is what makes this transformation possible.

I am expressing my joy by singing in the rain
I continue singing, blissfully enjoying the rain
I am overwhelmed with happiness
I feel elated again after being down for some time
I find humor in the dark clouds hovering above me
I feel as though the sun is shining on me, exposing light in my heart, and I am now prepared for love
As the stormy clouds come rolling in, I am invigorated and ready to take on whatever the weather brings
I invite the rain to come join me as I am grinning ear to ear
I take a walk down the street with a cheerful attitude
With a happy melody on my lips, I stroll down the lane, letting my joy radiate
Continuing to express my elation, I sing and dance to celebrate my overflowing happiness

I was at a dance
When he caught my eye
Standin' all alone
Lookin' sad and shy
We began to dance
Swayin' to and fro
And soon I knew I'd never let him go
Blame it on the bossa nova
With its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova
That he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But soon it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now was it the tune?)
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
(The dance of love)
Now, I'm glad to say
I'm his bride to be
And we're gonna raise a family
And when our kids ask
How it came about
I'm gonna say to them without a doubt
Blame it on the bossa nova
With its magic spell
Blame it on the bossa nova
That he did so well
Oh, it all began with just one little dance
But soon it ended up a big romance
Blame it on the bossa nova
The dance of love
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now was it the tune?)
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova
(The dance of love)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Or the stars above?)
No, no, the bossa nova
(Now was it the tune?)
Yeah, yeah, the bossa nova

One of the best singers of our generation. She is now with her son in heaven. Rest in peace, Eydie...thanks for all the wonderful tunes and memories.

VERY VERY underrated artist. I wonder if anyone 50 and under (I'm 40 going on 41) even knows much of her music. A WELL-deserved smash.

I'm 45 in 2023 and I know her song. 🥰

Hearing Eydie sing any song is a true delight! My wife and I saw Steve and Eydie perform in the early 1980's and they were both FANTASTIC! Thank you for posting this.

RIP, Miss Gorme. One of America's best singers at a time when there were so many great ones -- but you were at the top of the list. The Spanish-language songs really demonstrate this.
