Summer Rain
Hayley Westenra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch the colors run
Into pools that catch the eye
Disappear as you pass by
You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know that I'll see you again
Hear my prayer
Answer my call
Breathe life into my soul
I am waiting for you to show
Come and hold me so
You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know that I'll see you again
And I know that I'll see you again
Dreams of a day with you
Fading away
You're my summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know and I know and I know that I'll see you again
And I know and I know and I know that I'll see you again
Summer rain
You're my summer rain
And I know and I know and I know that I'll see you again
And I know and I know and I know that I'll see you again
Ah huh ah
Summer rain
Ah huh ah
Summer rain
Summer Rain by Hayley Westenra is a beautiful love song about a person who becomes somebody else's summer rain. The lyrics talk about the days of burning sun, where the colors run into pools that catch the eye, but they disappear as you pass by. The chorus declares that the person singing the song sees their lover as their summer rain that will come into their lives once again. The verse talks about the prayer of the singer, who is desperately waiting for their lover to come and hold them. They want their lover to answer their call and breathe life into their soul. The dreams of a day with their lover are fading away, but the chorus is an expression of hope that they will see their lover again.
The lyrics of the song convey a message of hope and expectation. The metaphor of summer rain is an apt representation of the promise of love, which arrives when we least expect it, but is always welcomed. The lyrics are heartfelt, with lovely imagery that adds to the overall beauty of the song. This song is perfect for anyone who is looking to express their love for someone special in their life. The emotions in the song are genuine, and the instrumental accompaniment complements the lyrics beautifully.

Days of burning sun
The days are filled with scorching heat
Watch the colors run
The colors become blurry due to the extreme heat
Into pools that catch the eye
The colors mix together and form interesting patterns
Disappear as you pass by
The colorful patterns fade out as you move away
You're my summer rain
You bring relief and joy to my life like the rain in summer
And I know that I'll see you again
I am certain I will meet you again in the future
Hear my prayer
Please listen to my requests
Answer my call
Respond to my need for you
Breathe life into my soul
Fill my spirit with energy and vitality
I am waiting for you to show
I am eager to see you again
Come and hold me so
Embrace me tightly
Dreams of a day with you
I imagine spending time with you
Fading away
But the thoughts slowly fade away with time
And I know and I know and I know that I'll see you again
I strongly believe that we will meet again
Summer rain
You bring me happiness and positivity like the rain in summer
Ah huh ah
Vocalization of the melody
Summer rain
You are like the refreshing rain in summer
Ah huh ah
Melody vocalization

Took a walk last week. The sky opened up while I was at the halfway point. I figured I'd be soaked whether I turned around or continued, so I continued the walk. This song was in my head the whole time.
