Isn't This A Lovely Day
Layo & Bushwacka! Feat. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Amstrong 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.

He's a triple threat ( sing, dance and act )
@TheWoodsugar
Anytime I feel discouraged I think of Fred’s first audition notes from one of the studios. “Can’t sing, can’t act, slightly bald, also dances.”
