In the rain

I took the garbage to the curb through the poring rain
The little tiny droplets were driving me insane
I threw the bag onto the ground and started to walk back
Then I saw your pretty face and froze in my tracks

We locked our gaze and smiled as the clouds began to lift
You began to walk to me, so elegant and swift
I began to blush, I was as scared as I could be
This girl was as pretty as any girl could be

I now love the rain
It washed away my crooked shame
Now I feel no more pain
Because on that day I learnt your name
...in the rain...

I went inside and jumped for joy, waiting for your call
I heard the ring and we made our plans for the first of the fall
I picked my clothes and danced around, fall was coming fast
Two days later the day had come, fall had come at last

I now love the rain
It washed away my crooked shame
Now I feel no more pain
Because on that day I learnt your name
...in the rain...

The restaurant that I had picked was candle lit and warm
It was the perfect contrast the rushing winds and storm
We finished quick and paid the bill and went to the park
The thunder crashed and rain flew down, the clouds were turning dark

We looked into each others eyes, soaked to the bone
She said my name in a special way, you know the gentle tone
We had a kiss to end the world as the rain came down
I felt like I was in a sea, but not about to drown

I now love the rain
It washed away my crooked shame
Now I feel no more pain
Because on that day I learnt your name
...in the rain...
