In The Rain
TWO-J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We met in the freezing rain of early March
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
Together we walked down Beacon Street
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
