Isn't This A Lovely Day
George Shearing Trio 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
So I can honestly say,
That as far as I'm concerned, it's a lovely day
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 gray.
Long as I can be with you, it's a lovely day.
The song appears to open on a pessimistic note, stating how the dangerous weather with thunder and lightning is taking control. However, the lyricist seems to present a contrast with their following statement, as they turn the negative perspective around by claiming that the weather is beautiful. The singer asserts their position that the turn in the weather has the power to bring people together, and because of this, the day is lovely. This change in mindset could be attributed to the singer's love interest or their companion.
The verse's lyrics convey a sense of warmth and camaraderie, with the singer expressing their desire to stay with their loved one, even amidst the rain. The chorus downsizes the importance of natural factors such as rain, thunder, and lightning, painting them as harmless and insignificant when compared to the joy and happiness that the singer shares with their beloved. This portrays a sense of optimism and hopefulness despite the weather's inherent negativity.
