Better Than The Day
Kiley Dean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything has changed
I'm no more the same
Because I found love again
For the first time
I saw myself in someone else
I don't know where I would be
If I hadn't found you
The sun shines brighter now
Because of you (shines brighter now)
The clouds are gone away (gone away)
I see rainbows now every day (rainbows, yeah)
No more rainy days
Because you love me
My life ain't the same
Who would've thought that
You'd be better than the day before
Dreams came true
Cause there's you
You're my everything
Never knew this joy until you
You smiled my way
You're the beat of my heart
You're the air I breathe
Very close are you my baby
I do love you
It gets sweeter every day (every day)
You do my love
I find that
I want you more each day my love
What you say to me
You're just what I prayed for
Overwhelming is what you are (what you are)
You're everything and more
The sun shines brighter now (brighter, yeah)
Because of you
The clouds are gone away (gone away)
I see rainbows now every day (rainbows, yeah)
No more rainy days
Because you love me (because you do)
(And I need you, I really do)
My life ain't the same
Who would've thought that
You'd be better than the day before
There's some things
That I need to say
I wanted you to know you (you)
You mean the world to me
And everything
I love you (but I love you) more each day
There's one thing I know
You make my days better than before
The sun shines brighter now (brighter now)
Because of you
The clouds are gone away (gone away)
I see rainbows now every day (rainbows, yeah)
No more rainy days (than rainy days)
Cause you love me
My life ain't the same
Who would've thought that
You'd be better than the day before
The sun shines brighter now (the sun shines)
Because of you (brighter now)
The clouds are gone away
(I see rainbows)
I see rainbows now every day (every day)
No more rainy days
Cause you love me, yes you do
My life ain't the same
Who would've thought that
You'd be better than the day before
Kiley Dean’s song “Better Than The Day” is a love song that expresses the singer's love and gratitude to her partner for making her life better. The song starts with the singer expressing how her life changed since she found her lover. She states that everything in her life changed for the better since the day she found her partner. She says that she saw herself in her partner, who she claims to be the love of her life. She also says that she doesn't know where she would be without her partner.
The chorus focuses on how her life is better since she found love. She says that the sun shines brighter because of her partner, the clouds are gone away, and now she sees rainbows every day. She also says that because of her partner, there are no more rainy days in her life. She is grateful that her partner loves her, and her life is not the same as before.
In the second verse, the singer says that her dreams came true because of her partner. She also says that her partner is her everything, and she never knew joy until she met her.

Lovely song. I can't believe this album wasn't released. She seems like an amazing singer.

Love this song
Magver Marques
This song has exactly the same melody, runs and lyrics theme as "WOW" by Brandy. I love the backing vocals. So beautiful 🖤
superbeatclubfriends

I remember there was a slow by singer Kiley Dean that really enjoyed from my late teenage years or my early 20s. This is it!! I have not heard this song in several years. Thank you for posting. :)
Like I have said on another video of Kiley Dean just before this one: her sound in some of these songs during this time were reminiscent of singer Brandy's sound during the early and mid 2000s. Maybe they had the same producer (possibly Timbaland?) and maybe Kiley Dean could have been background vocals on some Brandy songs from that time. I am thinking as I listen.

@A Awake Thank you again for the information. Cool. I will take a listen. :)
A Awake
@Tara 2daG If you want even more info, Brandy sings a little on the intro to Should I, and Brandy has a demo version of Kiley's song Escape. Brandy wrote that for her too. They are all on Youtube.
Tara 2daG
@A Awake Thank you for your reply and information. I can hear Brandy throughout this song even the way she sings at times.
A Awake
Brandy wrote this song as well as Should I and Confused, and they were all produced by Brandy's then boyfriend and her daughter's father Robert Big Bert Smith. Kiley also said that Brandy helped her and taught her how to record background vocals because she didn't really have much studio and harmony experience before doing this album.

So elegant
