What A Difference A Day Makes
Washington Dinah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain
My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine
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 diff'rence a day made
And the difference is you
The lyrics of Washington Dinah's song "What A Difference A Day Makes" are full of fond reminiscence and love. In the opening line of the song, Dinah Washington sings about how much can change within a day - "What a diff'rence a day made, twenty-four little hours." She then goes on to describe how the sun shines and flowers bloom where once there was rain. The singer contrasts her blue feelings from yesterday to the joy and completeness she feels today, thanks to the love of her partner. She declares that her lonely nights are over since her lover claimed her as his own.
The song is evocative of the way that love can transform a person's life completely. By using the metaphor of a day, Washington describes how completely and quickly her love for her partner swept her off her feet. The chorus of the song explains that since that romantic moment, Washington has seen a rainbow in the sky, and the weather has improved. She feels as if she is living in heaven since she added romance added to her life's menu. The difference in the singer's life comes down to the love of her partner, who completes her world and makes her see the beauty that surrounds her.
