Summer Rain
Carl Thomas Lyrics

Storming outside, rain
It's raining heavily outside

She keeps me home
The singer's significant other keeps him at home during the storm

Quiet conversation makes me warm
Having a peaceful conversation with his partner brings him comfort in the storm

So
This word serves as a transition to the chorus

Summer rain (sweet rain)
The artist is referring to his lover as 'summer rain'

Whispers me to sleep
Her voice soothes him to sleep

And wakes me up again (my rain)
He wakes up to the sound of her rain - her voice - in the morning

Sometimes I swear I hear her call my name (I swear, I swear)
The artist feels so connected to his lover that he thinks she calls his name even when she's not there

To wash away the pain
She helps alleviate his emotional pain, bringing forth a sense of renewal

In the middle of the night when I'm alone (alone, alone, alone)
The artist is reminding us that he often experiences loneliness

I feel her kisses on me even when she's gone
He carries the memory of her affection even when she's not there physically

Can't wait 'til she gets home
He's eagerly anticipating her return - longing for her presence to comfort him again

Summer rain, yeah
The singer repeats the term for his lover, 'summer rain'

So go ahead and make it rain
The singer is asking his lover to 'make it rain' - provide him with the emotional relief he gets from her presence

You bring the sunshine back again (oh, baby)
The singer's lover helps him find joy again, even during dark times

Your tender touches wash away my rain (keep it right there)
Her physical touch has the power to alleviate his emotional pain

I don't mind if it rains forever (if it rains, let it rain on me)
The artist is perfectly content with letting the rain (his lover's presence) touch him forever

Let it rain, rain, let it rain
He's expressing this desire to keep his lover's presence (rain) in his life

So baby won't you be my summer rain?
The singer is asking his lover to be the source of comfort and renewal in his life - his 'summer rain'

Your tender touches wash away my rain
He's reminding her of her ability to alleviate his emotional pain

I need you to make it rain
He's reaffirming that he needs her presence in his life

Would you do it for me one time?
He's asking his lover for her emotional support, just one more time
