Strolling along country roads with my baby. It starts to rain, it begins to pour. Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin. I feel a shiver run up my spine. I feel the warmth of her hand in mine. Oo, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love. Oo, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside. After a while we run under a tree. I turn to her and she kisses me. There with the beat of the rain on the leaves Softly she breathes and I close my eyes. Sharing our love under stormy skies. Oo, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love. Oo, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside. I feel the warmth of her hand in mine. Oo, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love. Oo, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside. Oo, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love. Oo, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside. Oo, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love. Oo, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside. Oo, I hear laughter in the rain, Walking hand in hand with the one I love. Oo, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feelinside
