It's Gonna Rain
Rainy Memories: A Love's Echo in Sonny & Cher's Melody
Lyrics
It's gonna rain outside
Anticipation of rain outdoors.
I can tell by the clouds
Observation of cloudy weather as an indicator of impending rain.
In the sky whoa, whoa
Expressing the presence of clouds in the sky with emotional emphasis.
Uh-uh oh uh-uh
Vocalizations adding emotional emphasis or excitement.
You used to come
Reflecting on past visits from someone special.
And see me baby all the time
Recalling frequent visits from a significant other.
People see you walking down the street
Noting public recognition of the relationship when seen together.
They say you were mine
Others identifying the person as romantically connected.
We use to love each other baby
Reminiscing about a past mutual love.
Ah that's all
Summarizing the depth of the past relationship.
Well I can still remember
Recalling vivid memories of the person's touch.
Your skin so soft
Nostalgia for the softness of the person's skin.
It's gonna rain outside
Reiteration of the anticipation of rain.
I can tell by the clouds
Repeating the observation of clouds signaling impending rain.
In the sky whoa, whoa
Re-emphasizing the presence of clouds in the sky with emotional weight.
Uh-uh oh uh-uh
Repetition of vocalizations for emotional emphasis or excitement.
You would come and see me
Recalling the act of giving all one had in the past relationship.
Baby gave you all I had to give
Expressing the emotional investment in the relationship.
Sometimes when you left me
Describing the emotional turmoil when the person left.
I didn't know if I was gonna live
Expressing uncertainty and emotional distress after a departure.
Used to watch the suns come up
Recalling shared moments of watching sunrises and sunsets.
And the moons go down
Reflecting on the passage of time through celestial events.
We used to take off our shoes
Remembering shared experiences like taking off shoes together.
And stamp our feet in the ground
Recalling carefree moments of stomping feet on the ground together.
Oh yeah
Confirming and affirming the recollection of shared experiences.
