Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler wrote it in 1933, and Lena Horne made it her signature song.
The words
Since a lover left, it has felt as if the rain will never stop.
Since the singer's lover left, it feels as though the rain has never stopped, and the gloom outside mirrors the gloom within. The verses describe a life gone gray, weariness and the hope that the sun will someday return with the lost love. The tone is heavy and patient, a slow lament rather than an outburst. Dylan takes the famous standard at a gentle, unhurried pace with a small band.
