Isn't This A Lovely Day
Fred & Ginger 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
That as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day and everything's OK
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 a 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 grey
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

Line by Line Meaning
The weather is frightening
The current climate conditions are quite terrible
The thunder and lightning
The electrical storm is causing a lot of noise and light
Seem to be having their way
The storm is dominating the atmosphere
But as far as I'm concerned
However, from my point of view
It's a lovely day
The inclement weather doesn't change my pleasant perspective
The turn in the weather
The change in the climate
Will keep us together
Will ensure our unity or togetherness
So I can honestly say
Therefore I can confidently express
That as far as I'm concerned
From my personal opinion
It's a lovely day and everything's OK
Although the weather changed, I'm still happy and life is good
Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain?
A rhetorical question that implies the presenter is happy to get wet
You were going on your way
Before the storm you were headed for some destination
Now you've got to remain
Due to the shower, you are now stuck here for a while
Just as you were going
Right when you had planned to depart
Leaving me all at sea
Left me confused and alone
The clouds broke, they broke
The dark clouds dissipated, vanished or broke apart
And oh what a break for me
What a lucky or joyous moment for myself
I can see the sun up high
The sun is now visible and up in the sky
Though we're caught in a storm
Even though we are in a rainstorm
I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm
I can imagine us being comfortable and snug together
Let the rain pitter patter
Listen to the sound of the raindrops falling gently
But it really doesn't matter
Even though it's raining, it doesn't matter much
If the skies are grey
If the color of the sky is dull, blue or grey
Long as I can be with you
As long as I'm able to spend time with you
It's a lovely day
It is a beautiful and enjoyable day

Leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke
And oh what a break for me

Though we're caught in a storm
I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm
Let the rain pitter-patter

If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

He's a triple threat ( sing, dance and act )
@TheWoodsugar
Anytime I feel discouraged I think of Fred’s first audition notes from one of the studios. “Can’t sing, can’t act, slightly bald, also dances.”

Why do I love the 30's so much.....way before my time. And yet I love them.
