It was raining, dear, when I met you You smiled, the sun shone through Then it rained again and I lost you Just why I never knew. Now ev'ry time the storm clouds gather way up in the sky, I see them all and I recall those happy days gone by: I get the blues when it rains, The blues I can't lose when it rains Each little drop that falls on my window pane Always reminds me of the tears I've shed in vain I sit and wait for the sun To shine down on me once again It rained when I found you, It rained when I lost you, That's why I'm so blue when it rains.
