What Rain?
"C'mon," you said, "Let's go for a walk
The sun is shining, the birds are singing
It's a perfect day for walking."
But we didn't get very far
Because we had to stop every few minutes and kiss
Because it was a perfect day for kissing
I finally noticed that your umbrella
Matched the bottom of my shoes and giggled
Because it was a perfect day for giggling
I also finally noticed
That the sun was not shining
And the birds were not singing, there were no birds
Because it was pouring
Raining cats and dogs as they say
As we stood kissing under that red umbrella
"Don't you think we should go to my house,
Curl up by the fire and dry off?" I asked and you asked, "Why?"
"Because of the rain!" I laughed "Silly!"
Then you closed the red umbrella and let us get drenched
And running your hands down my hips,
You smiled and said, "What rain?"
