Laughter In The Rain
Neil Sedaka & Dara Sedaka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It starts to rain, it begins to pour
Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin
I feel a shiver run up my spine
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain,
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
After a while we run under a tree
I turn to her and she kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain,
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain,
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain,
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside
The lyrics of Neil Sedaka and Dara Sedaka's "Laughter In the Rain" describe a romantic walk along country roads in the rain with the singer's lover. The rain gets heavier and they have no protection, but they continue to dance and laugh in the rain, feeling the warmth of each other and the happiness that the moment brings them. As the storm gets stronger, they find shelter under a tree where she kisses him and they share their love in the midst of the storm.
The song is a celebration of love and joy, despite the difficulties that come along the way. Even when faced with adversity, the couple find happiness in each other's company, and their laughter in the rain becomes a metaphor for their resilience and ability to find joy in even the toughest of circumstances.

Strolling along country roads with my baby
I am walking down a country road with my loved one
It starts to rain, it begins to pour
The rain starts to pour down during our walk
Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin
We don't have an umbrella and are completely wet from the rain
I feel a shiver run up my spine
I feel a shiver go up my back due to the cold rain
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
My loved one's warm hand is holding mine
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain,
Despite the bad weather, we are still happy and laughing
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
We are together and holding hands
Oh, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside
I love the way the rain makes me feel happy and content
After a while we run under a tree
Eventually, we run under a tree to take shelter
I turn to her and she kisses me
My loved one turns to me and kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
We are together, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
My loved one is breathing softly and I close my eyes in contentment
Sharing our love under stormy skies
We are sharing our love during a stormy weather

Their chemistry together is so compelling.
I know Dara never made it big, but the music she did with her father is sonic bliss
@sakaridis
I can't believe Dara didn't have a huge career in the 80s! She is such a great singer and her voice is so sweet and calming. Not to mention that she's cute as button!
As for Neil, words are not good enough. Amazing singer, genius songwriter, and such a wonderful, positive presence! One of the true greats, right up there with the best of them and arguably better than most!
@rcperry2000
Dara actually made two solo albums! "I'm Your Girlfriend" in 1982 and "What's New" in 1996. Very underrated gems in my opinion!
@sakaridis
@rcperry2000 Totally agree!
@jeromeduboin3407
Yes, I agree.
@demonioandino1
Así lo creo.

I have been a big fan of Neil Sedaka since I was a small girl until now. Laughter in the rain is the best song ever. Now, he is singing with Dara, great dad and daughter singing together❤
@quintinrice2733
Spectacular!!!! This must have been so special for them.
@helenmarshall7785
I've always loved Neil Sedaka and all his songs, I still play them now especially this one. I heard this duet on my 'oldies' radio station last year for the first time and really loved it. Dara's voice is beautiful, I'm going to check out her records now. Thanks for posting.

While Dara never hit it big on her own, she has a fine voice. And, yeah, she's cute. The apple fell right next to the tree.
