Stormy Weather
Navigating Love's Storm: Keely Smith's Melancholy Tale
Lyrics
Don't know why
Feeling uncertain or puzzled about the reason
There's no sun up in the sky
Not experiencing happiness or good times
Stormy weather
Describing a period of turbulence and difficulty
Since my gal and I ain't together
Expressing the cause of the stormy weather – separation from a loved one
Keeps raining all the time
Symbolizing a continuous state of sadness and hardship
Life is bare
Portraying a sense of emptiness and desolation in life
Gloom and misery everywhere
Depicting an atmosphere of sadness and suffering everywhere
Stormy weather
Reiterating the theme of difficult times (stormy weather)
Just can't get my poor old self together
Expressing difficulty in finding inner peace or stability
I'm weary all the time
Conveying a constant feeling of weariness or fatigue
Every time
Highlighting the repetitive nature of weariness
So weary all of the time
Continuing to emphasize a state of perpetual fatigue
When she went away
Describing the impact of the loved one's departure
The blues walked in and then they met me
Depicting the arrival of sadness (blues) after the departure
If she stays away
Speculating on the consequences if the loved one remains absent
That old rocking chair's bound to get me
Suggesting that prolonged absence will lead to deep emotional pain
All I do is pray
Expressing a plea for divine intervention and a return to happiness
The lord above will let me
Seeking assistance from a higher power to overcome adversity
Just walk in that sun again
Yearning for the return of brighter and happier days
Can't go on
Conveying a sense of hopelessness or inability to continue
Everything I had is gone
Expressing the loss of everything, possibly due to the separation
Stormy Weather
Reiterating the theme of stormy weather and its emotional impact
Since my gal and I ain't together
Restating the cause of the storm – the absence of the loved one
Keeps raining all the time
Emphasizing the persistent and ongoing nature of emotional hardship
Keeps raining all of the time
Highlighting the continuous presence of difficulties and sadness
