She's my kind of rainLike love in a drunken skyShe's confetti fallingDown all night
She sits quietly thereBlack water in a jarSays, Baby why are youTrembling like you are
So I waitAnd I tryI confess like a child
She's my kind of rainLike love from a drunken skyConfetti falling down all nightShe's my kind of rain
She's the sun set shadowsShe's like Rembrandt's lightShe's the history that's made at nightShe's my lost companionShe's my dreaming treeTogether in this brief eternitySummer days, winter snowsShe's all things to behold
She's my kind of rainLike love from a drunken skyConfetti falling down all nightShe's my kind of rain
So I waitAnd I tryI confess all my crimes
She's my kind of rainLike love from a drunken skyConfetti falling down all nightShe's my kind of rain
She's my kind of rainLike love from a drunken skyConfetti falling down all nightShe's my kind of rain
She's my kind of rainOh, rain on meShe's my kind of rain
