When the Sun Comes Out
Sunshine After Heartbreak: Finding Love Amidst Life's Storms
Lyrics
When the sun comes out
Anticipating a positive change or a happier period
And that rain stops beatin' on my window pane
Hopeful for an end to difficulties or hardships ("rain")
When the sun comes out
Reiteration of the anticipation of a brighter future
There'll be bluebirds 'round my door, singin' like they did before
Expectation of happiness returning, symbolized by singing birds
That ol' storm broke out
Reference to a past difficult situation or conflict
And my man, gal walked off and left me in the rain
Describes a betrayal or abandonment by a significant other
Though he's, gone I doubt
Expressing uncertainty about the permanence of the departure
If he'll, stay away for good, I'd stop livin' if he should
Feeling that life would lose meaning if the person doesn’t return
Love is funny, it's not always peaches, cream and honey
Love is portrayed as unpredictable and not always joyful
Just when everything looked bright and sunny
Despite optimism, challenges unexpectedly arise ("cyclone")
Suddenly the cyclone came, I'll never be the same
Impact of the unforeseen difficulties, causing lasting changes
Til that sun comes out
Reiteration of longing for a positive change
And the rain stops beatin' on my window pane
Desire for relief from distress or troubles
If my heart holds out
Holding onto hope despite challenges faced
Let it rain and let it pour, it may not be long before
Acceptance of enduring hardships, believing they'll soon end
There's a knockin' at my door
Hope for the return or arrival of someone beloved
Then you'll know the one I love walked in
Expectation of the return of a loved one symbolized by a knock at the door
When the sun comes out
Reaffirmation of the anticipation of a better time ahead
