Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The weather is fright'ning
The thunder and lightning
Seem to be having their way
But as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day
[Verse 2]
The turn in the weather
Will keep us together
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned
It's a lovely day
And everything's O.K.
[Verse 3]
Yes, isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain
[Verse 4]
Yes, just as you were going
Leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke
They broke and oh
What a break for me, yes
[Verse 5]
Now, I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
[Verse 6]
Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Baby, long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day
[Verse 7]
Isn't this a lovely day
To be caught in the rain?
You were going on your way
Now you've got to remain
[Verse 8]
Just as you were going
Leaving me all at sea
The clouds broke
They broke and oh
What a break for me
[Verse 9]
I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in the storm
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
[Verse 10]
Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It's a lovely day
[Verse 11]
I can see the sun up high
Though we're caught in the storm
(Caught in the storm, babe)
I can see where you and I
Could be cozy and warm
(Cozy and warm)
[Verse 12]
Let the rain pitter patter
But it really doesn't matter
If the skies are gray
Long as I can be with you
It’s a lovely day
Long as I can be with you
It’s a lovely day
