Blue Rain
ray eberle glenn miller and his orchestra Lyrics

Blue Rain, falling down on my window pane
The singer is watching the rain fall outside and it reminds them of their sadness.

But when you return there'll be a rainbow
The singer believes that when their loved one returns, they will bring happiness and hope like a rainbow.

After the blue, blue rain
The singer is describing their present state of sadness and longing for their loved one.

And there's a blue star
The artist sees a star in the sky which reminds them of their loved one who is far away.

Looking down asking where you are
The artist imagines the star is checking on their loved one's whereabouts.

But when you return there'll be a sunbeam
The singer believes that their loved one's return will bring hope and light to their life.

Hiding the blue, blue star
When the sunbeam appears, the singer imagines it will hide the star in the sky which reminds them of their longing for their loved one.

Skies will be much brighter than they were before
The artist anticipates great happiness and joy when their loved one returns.

When you and love come strolling through the door
The artist imagines their loved one and the happiness they bring entering through the door.

Then there'll be no more blue rain
The artist believes that when their loved one returns, their sadness will disappear.

Just the sound of my heart's refrain
The singer's heart will be filled with joy when their loved one is around.

Singing like a million little blue birds
The artist's heart will be so full of joy that it feels like a million little blue birds singing.

After the blue, blue rain
The singer repeats the line from the beginning of the song to show that their sadness and longing will be replaced by happiness and joy with their loved one's return.
