About Here Comes That Rainy Day

"Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" is the title of a pop song composed by Tony Macaulay, Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway, which became the third U. S. Top 40 hit for The Fortunes in 1971. This sad song is about the singer experiencing a rainy day feeling, with his tears falling like rain as if it was always a Monday, rather than a sunny Sunday spent with his girlfriend. Part of the lead vocal passages are similar to a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons song. The bridge is noted for its lines: "Misty morning eyes/ I'm trying to disguise the way I feel/ But, I just can't hide it/ People seem to know/ The loneliness will show/ I'm thinking of my pride/ But, breaking up inside, girl. " The song reached number 15 on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 and number 8 on the Cash Box Top 100. It was also a hit in Canada (number 25) and charted minorly in Australia. Subsequently, Sonny & Cher covered the song on their album All I Ever Need is You. An abbreviated cover of "Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" was included as part of the extended LP version of "Stars on 45," a number one medley hit from 1981.

Here comes that rainy day feeling again
And soon my tears they will be falling like rain
It always seems to be a Monday
Left over memories of Sunday always spent with you
Before the clouds appeared and took away my sunshine

Here comes that rainy day feeling again
And I'll be dreaming of you, baby, in vain
Your face is always on my mind, girl
I'm hoping soon you're gonna find, girl
Your way back to me
'Cause if you say you'll stay 
The rainy days will go away

Misty morning eyes
I'm trying to disguise the way I feel
But I just can't hide it
People seem to know 
The loneliness will show
I'm thinking of my pride 
But breaking up inside, girl

Here comes that rainy day feeling again
And soon my tears they will be falling like rain
It always seems to be a Monday
Left over memories of Sunday always spent with you
Before the clouds appeared and took away my sunshine

Here comes that rainy day feeling again
Here comes that rainy day feeling again
Here comes that rainy day feeling again
Here comes that rainy day feeling again
