Stormy
Santana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden that ol' rain is fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away
Old Stormy Stormy
Old Stormy Stormy
Old Stormy Stormy
Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze
But like the weather you changed
Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin' out your name
Stormy Stormy
Stormy Stormy
Come back to me Stormy
Stormy Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze
But like the weather you changed
Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin' out your name
Whoa! Stormy
Stormy, come back to me Stormy
Stormy, come back to me Stormy
Come on home! Stormy
Bring back that sunny day
The lyrics of Santana's song "Stormy" revolve around the inconsistency of human emotions and how they can change drastically from moment to moment like the weather. The singer addresses his lover, describing how she is usually like sunshine to him, but on this day, he calls her Stormy because she has suddenly changed and brought rain into his world. He expresses how everything around him has become cloudy and gray, and how he feels alone in the rain, calling out her name.
The chorus of the song consists of the singer repeating the name "Stormy" several times, almost as if he is pleading for her to come back to him and bring back the sunny days. He compares their love to yesterday's warm summer breeze, now replaced by dreary winds of cold uncertainty. The lyrics convey a sense of longing, desperation, and a hope for a brighter future.
Overall, "Stormy" is a sorrowful yet catchy song with a strong message about the unpredictable nature of love and relationships. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the melody is enchanting, making it a classic Santana song loved by many.

You are the sunshine, baby, whenever you smile
You bring joy and happiness in my life whenever you smile
But I call you Stormy today
Today, you are the source of all my troubles and sadness
All of a sudden that ol' rain is fallin' down
My life has taken a turn for the worse all of a sudden
And my world is cloudy and gray
Everything around me is now dull and gloomy
You've gone away
You've left me and I'm heartbroken
Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze
Our love was strong and beautiful like a warm summer breeze
But like the weather you changed
Just like the weather changes unpredictably, you also changed suddenly
Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold
The present situation is bleak, lonely and unpleasant
And I stand alone in the rain
I feel abandoned and hopeless in this tough time
Callin' out your name
I long for your presence and comfort in my life
Stormy, come back to me Stormy
I want you to return to my life and make me happy again
Come on home! Stormy
Please come back to me, I need you in my life
Bring back that sunny day
I want our relationship to be joyful and happy again

I bought this album in 79 and still have it. This track is the best song I have ever heard. I have adored it always. It brings back the best memories of my twenties when I loved and lived.
