RAIN

I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF SUNSHINE
AND CLOSED MY MIND TO RAIN
AS IF THE THOUGHT OF WATER
COULD CAUSE ME LOTS OF PAIN
I FORGOT IT HELPS THE FLOWERS
AND MAKES THE GRASS SO GREEN
IT WASHES ALL THE PAVEMENTS
AND MAKES THEM ALL LOOK CLEAN
IT FILLS MY TAP FOR DRINKING
AND LATHERS UP MY SOAP
WITHOUT THIS DROP OF WATER
I DON’T THINK WE COULD COPE
BUT I WISH I HAD MY BROLLY
INSTEAD I’M GETTING WET
BUT JUST BECAUSE IT’S RAINING
IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT I SHOULD FRET
