Isn't This A Lovely Day
Louis Armstrong feat. Ella Fitzgerald 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
That as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day and every thing's okay
Yes, isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain
Yes, just as you were going
Leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke, they broke
And, oh, what a break for me
Then now I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in the 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
Baby, long as I can be with you
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 the 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
I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in the storm
(And we're caught in the storm)
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
(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
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day

The weather is frightening
The weather is intensely scary and frightening
The thunder and lightning
The thunder and lightning in the sky
Seem to be having their way
They appear to be controlling the situation
But as far as I'm concerned
In my opinion or as I perceive it
It's a lovely day
The current weather does not affect my perception of the day being beautiful
The turn in the weather
The current change in the weather pattern
Will keep us together
It will enable us to stay close to each other
So I can honestly say
So I can truthfully express
That as far as I'm concerned
My perception or opinion
It's a lovely day and every thing's okay
The change in weather does not affect my happiness
Yes, isn't this a lovely day
Expressing the beauty of the day
To be caught in the rain?
Even though we have been caught in the rain
You were going on your way
You were about to leave
Now you've got to remain
Now you have to stay with me
Just as you were going
At the same moment that you were leaving
Leaving me all at sea
Leaving me feeling lost and unsure
The clouds broke, they broke
The clouds dispersed or cleared up
And, oh, what a break for me
What a fortunate turn of events for me
Then now I can see the sun up high
Now I am able to perceive the sunshine
Though we're caught in the storm
Despite the current inclement weather
I can see where you and I
I can envision a situation where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
Can be comfortable and warm
Let the rain pitter patter
Let the soft sound of the rain
But it really doesn't matter
It has no impact on my emotions
If the skies are gray
Even if the sky has turned grey
Baby, long as I can be with you
As long as I am able to stay with you
It's a lovely day
It will continue to be a beautiful day
I can see the sun up high
I am able to perceive the brightness of the sun
And we're caught in the storm
Even though we are currently facing a storm
I can see where you and I
I am able to envision a situation where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
Can be comfortable and warm
Long as I can be with you
As long as we are together
It's a lovely day
It will continue to be a beautiful day

This is a really nice thing to heard, cause i really like Louis armstrong and his music, but people around me dont really apreciated or just Dislike them, and find that this song put you in a very good mood, is nice.

I can’t help but play this whenever it’s raining. These two artists are amazing within themselves but when they collaborated it’s absolutely magical! One of my favorite songs of all time.
