Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
[Saxophone solo]
[Bridge]

[Chorus Outro]
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Oh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
