Lyrics meaning
The song describes someone suffering after a painful romantic loss. The speaker accepts that sadness is part of life, but feels that their share of it is unfairly heavy. There is a small note of hope in the belief that the sun will shine someday, yet remembering the absent person keeps the pain returning.
Rain and tears are images for sorrow: โsome rain must fallโ means everyone faces hardship, while โtoo muchโ suggests the speaker feels overwhelmed. The sun stands for better times or emotional relief. The โbluesโ means sadness, and the image of another shower starting when the speaker thinks of the loved one shows how memories can renew grief.
The repeated lines make the feeling seem persistent, as if the speaker cannot easily move beyond it. Still, the lyrics do not say whether the relationship has ended permanently or whether the speaker expects a reunion. The promise that the sun is โbound to shineโ may express genuine confidence, or it may be a hopeful thought the speaker uses to endure the present.
