Strolling along country roads with my baby

It starts to rain, it begins to pour

Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin

I feel a shiver run up my spine

I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

Oo, I hear laughter in the rain

Walking hand in hand with the one I love

Oo, how I love the rainy days

And the happy way I feel inside

After a while we run under a tree

I turn to her and she kisses me

There with the beat of the rain on the leaves

Softly she breathes and I close my eyes

Sharing our love under stormy skies

Oo, I hear laughter in the rain

Walking hand in hand with the one I love

Oo, how I love the rainy days

And the happy way I feel inside

[break]

I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

Oo, I hear laughter in the rain

Walking hand in hand with the one I love

Oo, how I love the rainy days

And the happy way I feel inside

Oo, I hear laughter in the rain

Walking hand in hand with the one I love

Oo, how I love the rainy days

And the happy way I feel inside

Oo, I hear laughter in the rain

Walking hand in hand with the one I love

Oo, how I love the rainy days

And the happy way I feel inside.
