It has since been covered by numerous artists, including Ella Fitzgerald, Bill Evans, and Barbra Streisand. The song is a ballad that captures the melancholic feeling of a rainy day. The lyrics describe the sadness and loneliness that can come with rainy weather, and the longing for someone to share the moment with. The melody is simple and haunting, with a slow tempo and a minor key that adds to the song's emotional impact. "Here's That Rainy Day" is typically performed in a slow, romantic style, with a focus on the lyrics and the melody. The song is often played with a jazz trio or quartet, featuring piano, bass, and drums, with occasional solos from the instrumentalists. The song is usually played in a 4/4 time signature, with a tempo of around 60-70 beats per minute. The song is divided into two main sections, with a bridge in between. The first section features the lyrics "Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams / Funny, but here's that rainy day," while the second section features the lyrics "All you can do is pray for a sunny day / And, look, here's that rainy day." The bridge features the lyrics "Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day / Funny, that rainy day is here." "Here's That Rainy Day" has become a classic jazz standard, known for its beautiful melody and poignant lyrics. The song has been covered by countless artists over the years, and remains a popular choice for jazz musicians and singers. Its enduring popularity is a testament to the timeless quality of Van Heusen's composition and Burke's lyrics.
