ALONE IN THE RAIN (Dan Dougherty / Edmund Goulding (m & l) 1929) As sung by Donald Novis 1930 Also sung by: The Carleton Coon/Joe Sanders Nighthawks 1930 Into every life a little rain must fall So the poets say For and how It's raining on me now. And just when I need you near me most of all You are far away I keep calling to you in vain All alone in the rain. When the skies are clear I could always find you near Now I'm alone in the rain. When they turn to gray Like a bird you flew away Left me alone in the rain. Let it pitter patter It doesn't matter It only grieves me so...to know... My stormy weather pal Was a fair weather gal Who left me alone in the rain. (short bridge) When the skies are clear I could always find you near Now I'm alone in the rain. When they turn to grey Like a bird you flew away Left me alone in the rain. Let it pitter patter For it doesn't matter It only grieves me so...to know... My stormy weather pal Was a fair weather gal Who left me alone in the rain. Notes: This song was part of the soundtrack from 'The Grand Parade', a B & W 1930 'talkies' film written by Edmund Goulding. Goulding was a British born director, playwright and actor. He was known for his tasteful work...two examples being 'The Broadway Melody' 1929 and 'Grand Hotel' 1932. He wrote a number of popular songs, two being LOVE, YOUR MAGIC SPELL IS EVERYWHERE and MAM'SELLE. He was also directed 9 of his fellow actors/actresses to Oscar nominations. Grand Parade Director: Fred C. Newmeyer Leads: Helen Twelvetrees / Fred Scott / Richard Carle / Marie Astaire Donald Novis, the singer here, was an English born tenor. He talents included acting, singing, theatre, big bands and radio. He sang in a number of film soundtracks during his Hollywood times, particularly those from Disney.
