I Love the Rain Lyrics

The Clouds are forming
She comes again
I'll go and walk with her
Along the Sceine

Soon she'll be storming 
Here comes the winds
But that don't bother me 
Cause she's my friend 

I Love the Rain 
I Love the Rain

I've held our memories 
All of these years
So Many good times 
And many tears
I share my dreams with her
I share my fears
So I just walk with her until she veers
Off in the distance 

I love the rain
I love the rain

I love, I Love, I love the rain

Oh 
Just as she always does 
She has to leave
With her she takes my heart
into her breeze
Sometimes I think that she
Just likes to tease
Still I'll be waiting 
For her reprise

I love the rain
I love the rain
I love the rain
I love the rain
I love the rain

I Love, I love, I love the Rain.
