The rain fell outside the windows
As the small boy watched
'What are rainy days for?'�

'Rainy days are for smiling and playing,'�
His mother told him,
'For washing the world clean,
And helping the flowers to bloom.'�

The rain fell outside the windows,
As the boy in college watched
'What are rainy days for?'�

'Rainy days are for smiling and napping,'�
His lover told him,
'For sleeping the day away,
Cuddling until the sun returns.'�

The rain fell outside the windows
As the young man watched
'What are rainy days for?'�

'Rainy days are for smiling and hugging,'�
His wife told him,
'For relaxing to the sound of hearts,
And so we appreciate the sun.'�

The rain fell outside the window
As the old man watched
'What are rainy days for?'�

'I know what days of rain are for,'�
He spoke to himself,
'Rainy days are best spent
As the sunny ones are:
In Love.'�
