Rain on the roof
I love the patter of the rain on the roof
The pitter patter of the rain on the roof
Makes me want to dream

Rain on the roof
Just hear the clatter of the rain on the roof
It doesn’t matter ‘cos the rain on the roof
Makes me want to dream

I cuddle up in my bed
And overhead I hear the rain
Inside it’s so nice and warm
To hear the storm outside the window pane

Rain on the roof
The silver chatter of the rain on the roof
Is all a clatter, might and main on the roof
As I’m going to dream.
