Isn't This A Lovely Day
Fred Astaire & Johnny Green and His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Oh, 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
'Cause it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray

Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

Oh, I can see some sun up high
Though we're caught in the storm, yeah
And I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm
Now let the rain pitter-patter
Because it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray





Just as long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

Line by Line Meaning

The weather is frightening
The current weather is scary


The thunder and lightning
The thunder and lightning are occurring together


Seem to be having their way
They are dominating what is happening around me


But as far as I'm concerned
Speaking for myself


It's a lovely day
I consider this a beautiful day


The turn in the weather
The change in weather


Will keep us together
This weather will make sure we stay together


So I can honestly say
I can genuinely say


That as far as I'm concerned
As far as I am affected


It's a lovely day and everything's okay
This is still a beautiful day for me and nothing went wrong


Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain?
Isn't it amazing that it's raining but despite that, it remains lovely?


You were going on your way
You were about to leave and go your separate way


Now you've got to remain
Now you have to stay because of the rain


Just as you were going
At the same time you were leaving


Leaving me all at sea
Making me feel lost and uncertain


The clouds broke, they broke
Suddenly the clouds dispersed


And oh what a break for me
This turned out to be a great opportunity for me


I can see the sun up high
I can see the sun shining bright


Though we're caught in a storm
Despite being in a storm


I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm
I can imagine us being comfortable and warm together


Let the rain pitter-patter
Let the rain fall gently


But it really doesn't matter
It's not significant


If the skies are gray
Even if things seem gloomy


Long as I can be with you
I'm just happy to be with you


It's a lovely day
This remains a beautiful day for me
