Because Of Rain
Ella Fitzgerald · Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald
The raindrops seem to want to help me too
Because of rain, we stayed indoors and watched it pour
That's how I found the one that I adore
Because of rain, we stole a kiss or two
The cloudy day gave way to skies of blue
We must thank the misty, moisty windowpane
We found our love because of rain
Because of rain, we stole a kiss or two
The cloudy day gave way to skies of blue
We must thank the misty, moisty windowpane
We found our love because of rain
