          Edward Thomas Rabbitt (November 27, 1941 – May 7, 1998) was an American country music singer and songwriter. His career began as a songwriter in the late 1960s, springboarding to a recording career after composing hits such as "Kentucky Rain" for Elvis Presley in 1970 and "Pure Love" for Ronnie Milsap in 1974. Later in the 1970s, Rabbitt helped to develop the crossover-influenced sound of country music prevalent in the 1980s with such hits as "Suspicions", "I Love a Rainy Night" (a number-one hit single on the Billboard Hot 100), and "Every Which Way but Loose" (the theme from the film of the same title). His duets "Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)" with Juice Newton and "You and I" with Crystal Gayle later appeared on the soap operas Days of Our Lives and All My Children.

        "I Love a Rainy Night" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Eddie Rabbitt. It was released in November 1980 as the second single from his álbum Horizon. It reached number one on the Hot Country Singles, Billboard Hot 100, and Adult Contemporary Singles charts in early 1981. It was written by Rabbitt, Even Stevens and David Malloy.

Well I love a rainy night

I love a rainy night

I love to hear the thunder

Watch the lightning

When it lights up the sky

You know it makes me feel good

 

Well I love a rainy night

It's such a beautiful sight

I love to feel the rain

On my face

To taste the rain on my lips

In the moonlight shadow

 

Showers washed

All my cares away

I'd wake up to a sunny day

'Cause I love a rainy night

Yes I love a rainy night

Well I love a rainy night

I love a rainy night

 

Well I love a rainy night

I love a rainy night

I love to hear the thunder

Watch the lightning

When it lights up the sky

You know it makes me feel good

 

Well I love a rainy night

It's such a beautiful sight

I love to feel the rain

On my face

To taste the rain on my lips

In the moonlight shadow

 

Puts a song

In this heart of mine

Puts a smile on my face every time

 

'Cause I love a rainy night

Yeah I love a rainy night

Ooh I love a rainy night

Yeah I love a rainy night.
