It's So Wonderful
J.A.C. Redford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The good times that made us laugh, outweighed the bad.
I thought we'd get to see forever, but forever has blown away.
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I don't know where this road is gonna lead to.
All I know is where we've been and what we've been through.
If it gets me to tomorrow, I hope it's worth all the pain.
And I'll take with me the memories to be my sunshine after the rain.
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
J.A.C. Redford's song It's So Wonderful is a nostalgic ballad about coming to terms with the end of a relationship. The first verse starts with an expression of confusion and uncertainty about how to move on from what was once a beautiful relationship. The singer reminisces about the good times they shared with their loved one, which in hindsight, far outweigh the bad times which they thought might have broken the relationship at some point. The singer is heartbroken as they come to terms with the fact that forever, something they had hoped for with their loved one, had faded away just like that.
The chorus embodies the theme of the song as the singer admits that it's hard to say goodbye to yesterday. The second verse comes with a tone of hopelessness as the singer looks to an unfamiliar future with their loved one, and with nostalgia, remembers the memories they made and the obstacles they overcame together. The singer is undeterred by the struggle that lies ahead in facing the future without their partner. Hoping that this trying experience would ultimately lead to a better tomorrow, the singer wishes it's worth all the pain. Finally, the singer acknowledges that the memories they shared can never be taken away, and they will take it with them like sunshine after the rain.
