Whenever it rains I think of you
|
And I always remember that day in may
|
When I saw you walking in the rain
|
I know not what it was nor why
|
For ususally I'm quite shy
|
I ax'd your name, you smile and said "Lorraine"
|
I ax'd if I could share your umbrella
|
You smiled and said "what a cheeky little fella"
|
|
Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine
|
Hoping to see you again
|
Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine
|
A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine
|
You're drivin' me insane
|
|
Whenever it rains I think of you
|
And I always remember that day in may
|
When I saw you walking in the rain
|
I know not what it was nor why
|
For ususally I'm quite shy
|
but from the moment I saw you
|
I knew, that I needed you in my life
|
from that moment on I knew
|
that I wanted you for my wife
|
|
Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine
|
Hoping to see you again
|
Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine
|
A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine
|
You're drivin' me insane
|
|
Whenever it rains I think of you
|
And I always remember that day in may
|
When I saw you walking in the rain
|
I know not what it was nor why
|
For ususally I'm quite shy
|
I said " let's go back to my place for some coffee"
|
You frown and said "well, kiss me batty"
|
I fell so ashamed, I did not even notice
|
When your bus came, and went again
|
|
Now I'm standin' in the rain in vain, Loraine
|
Hoping to see you again
|
Tears fall from me eyes like rain, Loraine
|
A terrible pain in me brain, Loraine
|
You're drivin' me insane, Loraine, Loraine, Loraine
|
