I've always loved lying in bed listening to the rain on the roof. It makes me feel snug and secure. This song came from that feeling. |

"I Love it When it Rains" is a song first sung in Here Comes A Song.
Song Lyrics
I love it when it rains and I lie in bed at night
I listen to it patter on the roof soft and light
But then a storm may come and the thunder starts to crash
The rain beats on the window and I see the lightning flash.
I hold on teddy tight and sink down in my bed
I close my eyes so tight and pull the covers over my head
I feel so snug and warm; I know that everything's alright
I love when it rains as I lie in bed at night.
