George Strait [乔治史崔特] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On that little lie they call love, then out of the blue clear sky
Fallin' right into your hands, like rain on the desert sand
It's the last thing you had planned out of the blue clear sky.
Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Ain't love a funny thing, one day you're givin' up the dream
And the next you're pickin' out a ring out of the blue clear sky.
Here she comes a walkin' talkin' true love
Sayin' I been lookin' for you love
Surprise your new love has arrived
Out of the blue clear sky.
The lyrics of George Strait's "Blue Clear Sky" depict a narrative of a person who has given up on love after experiencing disappointment and disillusionment. The opening lines express this state of mind as the singer swears that they have had enough and are ready to give up. However, the chorus of the song introduces a moment of unexpected hope when love "falls right into your hands, like rain on the desert sand." The image of rain on the desert sand is both surprising and welcome, giving the listener a sense of nature's unpredictability and the joy of being surprised by something unexpected.
The verse and chorus are then repeated, emphasizing the idea of how unexpected love can be in life. The second verse expands on this by describing how "one day you're giving up on the dream, and the next you're picking out a ring" which reveals the fleeting nature of love and how quickly it can change. The final chorus concludes the song with the arrival of true love as the ultimate surprise that comes unexpectedly "out of the blue clear sky." The song's simple structure and message about the power of love that can arrive when you least expect it is what made it so popular and beloved by fans.
