When the Sun Comes Out
Embracing Hope: Finding Light After the Storm
Lyrics
When the sun comes out
Anticipation of a positive change or improvement in the singer's life when the sun appears.
And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane
Desire for an end to hardships symbolized by the rain beating on the windowpane.
When the sun comes out

There'll be bluebirds 'round my door
Hope for happiness and good fortune, as symbolized by bluebirds around the door.
Singin' like they did before
Recollection of past joy, indicated by birds singing, possibly referencing a happier time.
That old storm broke out
Reflection on a past storm and the departure of the singer's man, leaving her in emotional turmoil.
And my man walked off and left me in the rain
The pain of a breakup and being abandoned in the metaphorical rain.
Though he's gone, I doubt
Expressing uncertainty about the permanence of the man's departure.
If he'll stay away for good
Doubtful that the man will stay away forever, suggesting lingering hope or attachment.
I'd stop living if he should

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 easy, comparing it to peaches, cream, and honey which symbolize sweetness.
Just when everything looked bright and sunny
Unexpected challenges in a seemingly bright and sunny phase of life.
Suddenly the cyclone came
Introduction of a metaphorical cyclone representing a disruptive event or change.
I'll never be the same
Impact of the cyclone, suggesting a profound and lasting effect on the singer.
Till that sun comes out
Reiteration of the longing for the sun and the end of difficulties.
And that rain stops beatin' on my windowpane
If the singer's heart endures, she welcomes the rain as a prelude to better times.
If my heart holds out
Expression of hope that the heart can withstand challenges, indicating resilience.
Let it rain and let it pour
Openness to endure hardship (rain) until positive changes arrive.
It may not be long before
Optimistic view that the challenging period may not last long.
There's a knockin' at my door
Expectation of a positive event symbolized by a knock at the door.
Then you'll know the one I love walked in
Anticipation of the return of the loved one when the sun comes out.
When the sun comes out
Confirmation of the positive change with the reappearance of the sun.
