Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here

Maybe I should have saved those left over dreams
Perhaps I should have held onto my unfulfilled aspirations
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Ironically, the day I was warned about has come
Here's that rainy day they told me about
This is the day that I was cautioned to expect
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way
I chuckled at the notion that this scenario could occur
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
What happened to that abandoned desire
After it brought my lover near
Since it ultimately led me to my significant other
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
It's ironic how love can eventually turn into a bleak time
Funny, that rainy day is here
Indeed, that day has come
