Singin' In The Rain
Gene Kelly Debbie Reynolds & Donald O'Connor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin' just singin' in the rain

Why am I smilin' and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as Spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start happy
And get up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you

I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face




I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin' just singin' in the rain

This movie has THE best dance sequences I have ever seen. So crisp, synchronized, and catchy. An instant classic I’ve enjoyed since I was 5.

ME TOO!! my mom sang this to me when I was little! I actually had no idea it was a real song until today! I thought my mom invented it!

@ILuvAyeAye

Awww, I was just commenting the same thing! My mom would say “we slept the whole night through” instead hah.

@shanisafan

Watch the Nicholas Brothers choreography in Stormy Weather. You will be amazed by the dance moves in that clip.

My Nanna used to sing this to me every morning when she woke me up. Now I sing it to my son. I used to watch Singing in the Rain on her VCR all the time. Great memories.
