Rainy Days on the Sidewalk
Mondo Gascaro Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking for the hours to shine
In the evening rains
Shawling in the sidewalk below
We gotta make it to the show

Now with you
Life is so real
When it's time gotta take you to this rainy afternoon

Sixteen hundred miles down the road
Tried to make the things we said
(The things we said)
Fancy all the dreams in my head
Love is hard but not unkind

Now with you
Life is so real
Every time i can feel you in the rain
Softly as the morning dew

Slipping to and out of the sea
(Sing in the shower)
No one's gonna make it
Yes I'm gonna take you for a
Walk in the sun in the rain in December
I'm living this moment with you
(This moment with you)
Song in the air when we dance when we jive
Like I'm lovers in love songs too

And with you
Life is sunsill (?)
Every time i hear magic in the sound of raindrops fall

Yes i know i'm gonna take you for a
Walk in the sun in the rain in december
I'll cherish this moment with you
(This moment with you)
Song in the air when we dance when we jive
Just like lovers in love movies do

And with you

Life is sunsill (?)
Can you feel kinda magic in the sound of rain?
