Isn't This A Lovely Day
Fred Astaire Feat. Johnny Green & His 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
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
The lyrics of Fred Astaire's song "Isn't This A Lovely Day" draw inspiration from a weather pattern that is known to be typically gloomy and unsettling. However, the singer chooses to see the day in a different light and find contentment in the company of his significant other. The thunderous and lightning atmosphere may invoke fear in most people, but the singer remains perfectly comfortable and content with his lover. He sees the break in the storm as an opportunity to make their togetherness cozier and warmer, describing in vivid detail the potential for a cozy and warm environment amidst the storm ravaging around them. The lyrics of the song convey a sense of calmness and acceptance of the forces of nature which are beyond human control. Fred Astaire's charming vocal delivery combined with the romantic undertones of the lyrics achieves an alluring effect that reinforces the enduring appeal of the classic artist.

The weather is frightening
The weather outside is scary
The thunder and lightning
There's thunder and lightning happening in the storm outside
Seem to be having their way
The storm looks very intense and unstoppable
But as far as I'm concerned
Despite the weather outside, in my opinion...
It's a lovely day
...today is actually really beautiful
The turn in the weather
The shift in the weather
Will keep us together
This change in weather will keep us close
So I can honestly say
Therefore, truthfully I can say that...
That as far as I'm concerned
...as for me...
It's a lovely day and everything's okay
...today is a beautiful day, and all is well
Isn't this a lovely day to be caught in the rain?
Do you agree that today's stormy weather is actually quite lovely?
You were going on your way
You were leaving, going about your day
Now you've got to remain
But now you're stuck here with me because of the storm
Just as you were going
Just when you were about to leave
Leaving me all at sea
Abandoning me, leaving me feeling lost
The clouds broke, they broke
Suddenly, the storm clouds cleared up
And oh, what a break for me
This is good news for me
Oh, I can see the sun up high
Now that the storm has cleared, I can see the sun shining bright
Though we're caught in a storm
Despite being stuck in the storm currently
I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm
I can picture us being comfortable and warm together
Let the rain pitter-patter
The sound of the rain is calming and pleasant to me
'Cause it really doesn't matter
Because ultimately, it doesn't actually affect us
If the skies are gray
Even if the weather is dreary outside
Long as I can be with you
As long as I'm with you
It's a lovely day
Today will be beautiful no matter what, because I'm with you
Oh, I can see some sun up high
Again, I can see the sun shining through the storm clouds
Though we're caught in the storm, yeah
Even though we're still stuck here in the storm
And I can see where you and I could be cozy and warm
I can see us being comfortable and warm together
Now let the rain pitter-patter
I'm enjoying the sound of the rain
Because it really doesn't matter
It's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things
Just as long as I can be with you
As long as we're together
It's a lovely day
Then today is still beautiful and perfect
