Isn't This A Lovely Day
Layo & Bushwacka feat. Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The weather is frightening.
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...
And everything's okay.

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.

This is the musical equivalent if driving a train through a school. How could anybody put those two great names in the title!?

Why can't I find this in Spotify

@TheLightSonic

Personally, I couldn't find the "Red Seal" album once. Today you will find him and interrogate him, but a few years ago there was no such possibility 😉
