Washington Dinah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

Lord, what a difference 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 difference a day made
And the difference is you

Overall Meaning

The song "What A Difference A Day Makes" is a classic love song that was written in 1934 by Maria Grever, a Mexican composer. The song has been sung by several artists, but one of the most popular performances is by Washington Dinah.


The opening line, "What a difference a day made, twenty-four little hours", speaks about how much one's life can change in a day. The singer says that in that short period of time, the sun and the flowers replace the rain, symbolizing the happiness that comes into one's life after a period of despair. The second verse of the song is about how, before the day in question, the singer's life was blue but now she is part of the person she loves, and the loneliness has finally ended.


The chorus of the song speaks about the significant changes that came with one day - the rainbow before the singer, the skies are not stormy, and now she has experienced a moment of blissful and thrilling kiss, which can make one feel like they have been transported to heaven. At the end of the song, the singer says that finding true love can be heaven, and what made the difference in her life was the person she is in love with.

What a difference a day made, 24 little hours
Bought the sun and the flowers, where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue dear
Today I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine

And, what a difference a day made
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you (is you)

My yesterday was blue dear
Still I'm a part of you dear
My lonely nights are through dear
Since you said you were mine

Oh what a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can be stormy
Since that moment of bliss, that thrilling kiss
It's heaven when you find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you (is you, is you)
