Singing in the Rain
Diana Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
The sun's in my heart
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singing
Singing in the rain
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from a place
Come on with the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singing
Singing in the rain
Just singing
Dancing in the rain
