It's Raining
Love's Yearning in the Rain: Eleni Mandell's Melodic Embrace
Lyrics
It's raining so hard
Expresses the intensity of the rain
Looks like it's going to rain all night
Anticipation of continuous rain throughout the night
And this is the time
Refers to the current situation
I love to be holding you tight
Expresses a desire to hold someone close during this time
But I guess I'll have to accept
Acceptance of the absence of the desired person
The fact that you're not here
Acknowledges the person's physical absence
I wish this night would hurry up
Expresses impatience for the night to end
And end, my dear
Desire for the night to conclude
It's raining so hard
Reiteration of the heavy rain
It's really coming down
Emphasizes the intensity of the rain
Sittin' by my window
Describes the setting of the narrator
Watchin' the rain fall to the ground
Observation of rain falling
This is the time
Repeats the desire to hold someone during this time
I love to be holding you tight
Reiteration of the wish to be close to someone
I guess I'll just go crazy tonight
Expresses a feeling of going crazy due to the situation
It's raining so hard, it brings back memories
The rain triggers memories of the past
Of the time when you were here with me
Recollection of a time spent together
Counting every drop about to blow my top
Frustration and emotional turmoil represented by rain
I wish the rain would hurry up and stop
Desire for the rain to stop, reflecting inner turmoil
Well, I got the blues so bad
Intense feelings of sadness or melancholy
I can hardly catch my breath
Physical and emotional impact of the blues
The harder it rains
Correlation between the rain and worsening emotional state
The worse it gets
Intensification of emotional distress with the rain
This is the time
Repeats the desire to hold someone close during this time
I love to be holding you tight
Reiteration of the wish to be close to someone
I guess I'll just go crazy tonight
Expresses a feeling of going crazy due to the situation
