The day that the rains came down 
Mother earth smiled again 
Now the lilacs could bloom 
Now the fields could grow greener 

The day that the rains came down 
Buds were born love was born 
As the young buds will grow 
So our young love will grow, love sweet love 

A robin sings a song of love 
A willow tree reached up to the heavens 
As if to thank the sky above for all that rain, that welcomed rain 
We looked across the meadowland 
And seemed to sense a kind of a miracle 
Much too deep to understand, and there we were so much in love 

The day that the rains came down 
Mountain streams swelled with pride 
Gone the dry river bed 
Gone the dust from the valley 

The day that the rains came down 
Buds were born love was born 
As the young buds will grow 
So our young love will grow, love sweet love 
Rain, sweet rain
