The Rain Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know

You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I've felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low, oooh, oh

[Verse 2]
It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me, keepers of the gloom

Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooh
Oh, oh

[Bridge]
Ah, talk, talk, talk, talk
Hey!

[Verse 3]
I've felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go
I cursed the gloom that set upon us, upon us, upon us
But I know that I love you so, ohhhh, oh
But I know that I love you so
