When the Sun Comes Out
Embracing Sunshine: Love's Resilience in the Face of Storms
Lyrics
When the sun comes out
Anticipation of positive change and a brighter future when the sun appears.
And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane
Relief from a difficult situation symbolized by the end of rain hitting the windowpane.
When the sun comes out
Reiteration of hope and optimism associated with the arrival of sunlight.
There'll be bluebirds 'round my door
Expectation of happiness as suggested by the presence of bluebirds near the door.
Singin' like they did before
Recalling a joyful past, with birds singing as a reminder of better times.
That old storm broke out
A reference to a past emotional storm when a significant person departed.
And my man walked off and left me in the rain
Personal hardship caused by a relationship ending in the rain.
Though he's gone, I doubt
Expressing uncertainty about the permanence of the person's departure.
If he'll stay away for good
Doubting if the person will remain absent permanently.
I'd stop living if he should
Conveying a strong emotional impact and dependence on the departed person.
Love is funny
Reflection on the unpredictable nature of love, acknowledging its challenges.
It's not always peaches, cream and honey
Love is not always perfect, using metaphors like peaches, cream, and honey.
Just when everything looked bright and sunny
Contrast between a positive outlook and the sudden arrival of a cyclone (metaphor for turmoil).
Suddenly the cyclone came
Impact of an unexpected crisis, changing the speaker's life permanently.
I'll never be the same
Acknowledgment of the irreversible change caused by the cyclone.
Till that sun comes out
Reiteration of the longing for a positive change associated with the sun.
And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane
Desire for an end to difficulties marked by the cessation of rain on the windowpane.
If my heart holds out
If the heart endures, expressing resilience in the face of challenges.
Let it rain and let it pour
Willingness to endure challenges, using rain as a metaphor for difficulties.
It may not be long before
Hope for a positive change in the near future, anticipating a knock on the door.
There's a knockin' at my door
Suggestion of a potential return or arrival of a loved one through the knocking.
Then you'll know the one I love walked in
Recognition of the presence of the loved one when the sun finally appears.
When the sun comes out
Association of the loved one's arrival with the symbolism of the sun coming out.
