Lyrics
Music: Alan Wolpert
Lyric: Tom Toce
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE RAIN
I don't believe in silver linings,
I just believe in clouds.
I never pray for a sunny day at all.
If I have to be the one here weeping,
I don't want the world to smile.
That’s why I hope a little rain's about to fall.
Fall upon my garden wall
And all of the children down the lane;
Soaks us through, both me and you,
And so kind of circulates my pain.
That's what I like about the rain.
I don't believe in happy endings.
I don't believe in love.
I never dared let my soul be bared before.
It’s as if you shot a dream into me,
And now the dream is through,
So button up, because I think it’s gonna pour.
Pour upon my garden wall
And all of the children down the lane;
Soaks us through, both me and you,
And so kind of circulates my pain.
That's what I like about the rain.
(Let it) come again some other day.
(Let it) wash the world away.
That’s why I hope a little rain's about to fall.
Fall upon the things we've done
Till none of the memories remain.
Let it fade the mess we made
And send it all swirling down the drain.
That's what I like about the rain.
Till none of the memories remain.
That's what I like about the rain.
