I grew up with this song. My mom made me listen to it. I learned to sing it before I could speak English. When I learned to play the guitar, it was one of the first songs I taught myself to play. It fueled my love for singing. I sang it to my girlfriend when I wooed her.
And as the rain thundered down these past few days, I hear it ringing in my head again.
Listen to the pouring rain
Listen to it pour,
And with every drop of rain
You know I love you more
Let it rain all night long,
Let my love for you grow strong,
As long as we’re together
Who cares about the weather?
Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it fall,
And with every drop of rain,
I can hear you call,
Call my name right out loud,
I can hear above the clouds
And I’m here among the puddles,
You and I together huddle.
Listen to the falling rain,
Listen to it fall.
It’s raining,
It’s pouring,
The old man is snoring,
Went to bed
And he bumped his head,
Couldn’t get up in the morning,
Listen to the falling rain,
listen to the rain
