Lyrics

  1. When the rain comes pattering down, you sigh, dear
    While the birds all scattering homeward fly
    Cuddle up dear and smile, just huddle up here a while
    Together we’ll watch the clouds roll by

Refrain
After the rain, skies appear more clear and blue, dear
After the rain, flowers gleam and seem so new, dear
Tears are like raindrops and when the rain stops
Sunshine and laughter come after the rain

  1. Rain clouds may come swinging along our way, dear
    But we’ll just keep singing our song each day
    Sad when we see gray skies, but glad when we realize
    The sunshine of love is here to stay
