Singing in the Rain
Sheila B. Devotion 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 laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart 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
And singin' just singin' in the rain

Why am I smilin' and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as Spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start happy
And get up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you

I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart 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
And singin' just singin' in the rain

Overall Meaning

The song “Singin’ in the Rain” is a classic tune that was originally written by Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown in 1929 for the MGM musical film of the same name. This song was widely popularized by Gene Kelly's iconic dance number in the film. The song has since been covered by numerous artists, such as Sheila B. Devotion, who produced a disco version of the song in the late 1970s.


The lyrics to the song are all about finding happiness despite external circumstances that may try to bring you down. In the first verse, the singer describes how even though it's raining and there are dark clouds above, she is still singing and enjoying life. She sings about how happiness is a choice and that regardless of the weather or other people's moods, she will remain happy.


The second verse delves deeper into the reasons for the singer's happiness, and it's revealed that it's all thanks to a special person in her life. This person is the reason she wakes up each morning with a smile on her face and finds joy in each new task she undertakes. The singer is living a life full of love, and it's this love that has brought so much happiness into her life.


Overall, “Singin' in the Rain” is a song about the power of positivity and how we can choose to be happy no matter what's going on around us. It's a message that is just as relevant today as it was when the song was first written nearly a century ago.

I’m singin, in the rain, just singin ‘ in the rain
What a glorious feeling I’m happy again
I’m laughing at clouds so dark above
The suns in my heart 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
And singin’ just singin, in the rain

Why am I smiling’ and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start happy?
And get up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living s life full of you

I’m singin’ in the rain, just singin’ in the rain
What a glorious feeling I’m happy again
I’m laughing at clouds so dark above
The suns in my heart 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
And singin’ just singin’ in the rain

This is one of those fantastic tracks that captures that magical zeitgeist of
Europe in the late 1970`s.
