Right as the Rain
Love's Bloom: Embracing the Meaning in Barbra Streisand's 'Right as the Rain'
Lyrics
Right as the rain
Expressing the purity and freshness, likening love to rain.
That falls from above
Emphasizing the source of the rain as something divine or higher.
So real, so right is our love
Describing the love as genuine and perfect.
It came like the spring
Comparing the arrival of love to the arrival of spring, a season of renewal.
That breaks through the snow
Using the imagery of spring breaking through snow to symbolize the emergence of love overcoming challenges.
I can't say what it may bring
Uncertainty about the future of the relationship, acknowledging unpredictability.
I only know
Stating a lack of specific knowledge about what the future holds.
I only know
Reiteration of uncertainty or lack of clarity about the future.
It's right to believe
Expressing the correctness of having faith in the relationship.
Whatever gave your eyes this glow
Noticing a positive change in the partner's eyes, suggesting happiness or love.
Whatever gave my heart this song
Attributing the joyous feeling in the heart to the partner.
Can't be wrong
Asserting that the positive emotions and feelings can't be incorrect.
It's right as the rain
Reiterating the comparison of love to rain, emphasizing its "rightness."
That falls from above
Echoing the divine origin of love, reinforcing its purity.
And fills the world
Describing the impact of love on the world, using the metaphor of blooming.
With a bloom of our love
Highlighting the transformative and positive influence of love.
As rain must fall
Acknowledging the inevitability of challenges or hardships in the relationship.
And day must dawn
Expressing the natural progression of time, likening it to the continuation of love.
This love
Affirming the enduring nature of love, emphasizing its continuity.
This love
Repetition for emphasis on the persistence and continuity of love.
Must go on
Affirming the necessity for love to endure and continue.
