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 Oh, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oh, 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 Oh, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oh, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside I feel the warmth of her hand in mine Oh, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oh, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside Oh, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oh, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside
