After the Rain
Harmony Unveiled: Love's Aftermath in Barbra Streisand's 'After the Rain'
Lyrics
After we love
Reflecting on the time after expressing love
We bathe in the glow
Enjoying the warmth and satisfaction of love
Remembering what happened a moment ago
Recalling recent moments with a sense of nostalgia
Like after the rain
Drawing a parallel to the calmness after a rainstorm
When the wind breezes a sigh
Describing the calming effect of the wind after rain
While it's resting on pillows of sky
Imagining the sky as a comfortable resting place
Deep in your arms
Feeling secure and embraced in a romantic relationship
It's peaceful and warm
Experiencing tranquility and warmth in each other's arms
Together we lay in a calm that comes after a storm
Lying together in peace, akin to the calm after a storm
In a moment or two
Anticipating a brief period before the next experience
We can hear the stars coming through
Awareness of the emerging beauty or joy after difficulties
I love the quiet right after the rain here with you
Expressing love for the quiet moments shared after rain
After the rain
Reiterating the idea of serenity post-rain
The birds want to fly
Describing the desire to explore new possibilities after challenges
The trees all in green
Emphasizing the rejuvenation of nature after rain
Hang the leaves out to dry
Comparing leaves to laundry, symbolizing renewal
Like puddles and pools
Seeing in the eyes of the beloved a reflection of love
What your eyes let me see
Expressing a sense of contentment in love's reflections
Are their loving reflections of me
Desiring the intimate connection to be renewed
After a while
Highlighting the longing for continued affection
You touch me and then
Expressing the emotional response to a loving touch
I feel like a flower that longs for a shower again
Comparing oneself to a flower seeking refreshing rain
And then lost in a kiss
Indulging in the blissful experience of a kiss
I could stay forever like this
Expressing a desire for the wonderful moment to last forever
Though I don't know just what magic the raindrops contain
Pondering the mysterious and positive qualities of raindrops
I know that everything's wonderful after the rain
Acknowledging the overall positivity that follows rain
