In the rain
II-J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The bus was late and the benches were wet
I had trudged through several ankle-deep puddles to see a stranger
You had no raincoat or umbrella
And I had not brought one for you either
I'm sorry
I expected you to be resentful of the circumstances
But you smiled
As if we had done so many times before
I love that we met in the freezing rain of early March
You were the sunshine of that cloudy day
And you've been the sunshine every day since

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 the rain
I've a smile on my face
I walk down the lane
With a happy refrain
Just singin',
singin' in the rain
Dancin' in the rain
la ri la la ri la,
I'm happy again!
I'm singin' and dancin' in the rain!
(instrumental solo)
Dancin' and singin' in the rain...
