ONE RAINY AFTERNOON
Title song from the film "One Rainy Afternoon" (1936)
(Music: Ralph Erwin / Lyrics: Jack Stern & Harry Tobias)


Roland Young (Film Soundtrack) - 1936


The rain was dripping and I was slipping
And so I thought to see a movie would be ripping
It was so dark there, so nice to park there
Especially on that rainy afternoon

A lovely stranger sat there beside me
And there was danger, but no conscience there to guide me
I squeezed her hand then, it was so grand then
On that lucky rain, rain, rainy afternoon

Upon the screen there was a scene 
Of love supreme, but in-between 
I caught a glimpse of loveliness divine
That stole away this heart of mine

Believe me, Mister, who could resist her
Before I knew what I was doing, I had kissed her
The story's simple, a saucy dimple
Brought us together on that rainy afternoon
