Helen Merrill & Dick Katz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here
The song "Here's That Rainy Day" by Helen Merrill and Dick Katz is a beautiful and poignant piece about love and loss. The lyrics are particularly insightful, implying that sometimes we take love for granted and only realize its true value when it's too late. The first two lines of the song are particularly powerful: "Maybe I should have saved those left over dreams/Funny, but here's that rainy day". This suggests that the singer regrets not holding on to their hopes and dreams, and recognizes that now, when it's too late, they have been left with nothing but sadness.
In the subsequent lines, the singer goes on to lament the loss of their lover, wondering where their "worn out wish" has gone. This could be interpreted as a symbol for the singer's desire to be with their lover once again, which has faded over time. The final lines of the song repeat the refrain of the opening lines, emphasizing the cyclical nature of emotions and the inevitability of rainy days in our lives.
