Les Paul & Kay Starr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
What a diff'rence a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a diff'rence a day makes
And the difference is you
What a diff'rence a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a diff'rence a day makes
And the difference is you.
The song "What A Difference A Day Made" sung by Dinah Washington is about the transformative power of love. The singer sings about how just 24 hours made a vast difference in her life.

The rainy skies of her life before have been replaced by sunshine and flowers that have come with her newfound love.
The singer reflects on how her life has changed from a painful yesterday to an optimistic today after meeting her loved one. Everything that was once grey and bleak has now been replaced with rainbows and sunshine. The difference between yesterday and today is her companion. She notes that romance and love have the power to transform and energize an individual's otherwise drab life. This fresh change of love gives an individual's life meaning and purpose.
In summary, the song is all about how love can transform a person's life in a short amount of time, and the singer's life has been lifted by the presence of her lover. The song stresses the idea of how much difference a single day can make in our lives, especially when it involves love.
