Lennie Hayton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm singin' in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughin' at clouds
So dark up above
And I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin'
Singin' in the rain
Dancin' in the rain
Da da da da da da
I'm happy again
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain
I'm dancin' and singin' in the rain
The lyrics of Lennie Hayton Orchestra’s song "Singing in the Rain" encapsulate the liberating feeling of being in love – that no matter what adversity comes your way, the feeling of holding your beloved’s hand is enough to keep your heart warm and shining like the sun. The singer in the lyrics seems to be in a happy disposition, a complete change from the dark clouds hovering above. As he sings and walks down the lane in the rain, he is unbothered by the stormy clouds, as he knows that he is ready for love, and he has a smile on his face. He finds immense joy in singing and dancing under the rain, and nothing can dampen his mood; he is happy again.
The metaphorical meaning behind this song is the fact that the singer has something to lift him up, a person or a love interest, that gives him the strength to overcome any obstacle that comes his way. The rain is a metaphor for the struggles he might encounter, but with love, he can wade through it all. The song is upbeat, happy and ingrains in its listener happiness and positivity.
