I can't stand the rain
Mrs. Columbo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
'Cause he ain't here with me
Hey window pane
Tell me, do you remember
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's just one sound
That I just can't stand
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
'Cause he ain't here with me
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's just one thing
That I just can't stand
Can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
'Cause he ain't here with me
When we were together
Everything was so grand
Yeah now you got the sweet memories
But there's just one song
That I just can't stand
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
That just keeps on haunting me
Hey hey rain
Get off of my window
'Cause he ain't here with me
'Cause I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
The lyrics to Mrs. Columbo's song "I Can't Stand the Rain" convey a sense of longing and nostalgia. The rain against the window serves as a trigger, bringing back sweet memories of a past relationship. The singer of the song is lamenting the absence of her partner, expressing how difficult it is to endure the rain without him by her side.
The window pane becomes a symbol of the past, as it is asked if it remembers how sweet things used to be when the couple was together. The memories are described as grand and wonderful, contrasting with the current state of being separated. The rain is the only sound that now fills the void left by the absence of her partner, and it becomes unbearable for the singer to listen to and witness the rain against her window, as it brings back the bittersweet memories of their time together.
The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's inability to stand the rain against her window, as it constantly reminds her of what is missing from her life. The rain becomes a haunting presence, a constant reminder of the love that is no longer there. The song beautifully captures the emotional turmoil of missing someone and the longing for past happiness.
