Singing in the Rain
Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds 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 and I'm ready for love!
Let the stormy clouds chase
Come on with your rain,
I've got a smile on my face!
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain,
Just singin', singin' in the rain!
Why am I smiling and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as Spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start
Happy and head-up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you!
Hey, 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 up 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 your rain,
I've got a smile on my face!
I'll walk down the lane
With a happy refrain,
Just singin', 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.

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.
