Isn't This a Lovely Day?
Harry Allen Quintet 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 opening lyrics of Harry Allen Quintet's song, "Isn't This a Lovely Day" describe the frightening weather with thunder and lightning in the background. However, the singer's attitude towards it is nonchalant; they believe it's a lovely day despite the weather. In the following verse, the lyrics talk about the turn in weather that'll keep them together, which is a reflection of the singer's positive outlook towards their current circumstance. They are in a vulnerable position, exposed to the pouring rain, but the upbeat tone and melody make the experience enjoyable.
In the second verse, the lyrics convey the idea of the rain being a win-win situation. The singer initially seems sad that their partner is leaving, but with the unexpected weather, they can stay and spend more time together in a cozy and warm environment. The rain becomes an opportunity to connect, with the singer describing themselves and their partner vibing, sharing a moment in the rain, and enjoying the company.
To conclude, "Isn't This a Lovely Day" is a beautiful song about enjoying the rain and finding joy in even the darkest of situations, primarily if you're spending that time with someone special.
