(Maschwitz / Gaze)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters

August 14th 1950


Da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum, da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum,
A-dreamin' to the rhythm of the rain.
Da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum, I get the sweetest memories from
The rhythm of the rainy day refrain.

Da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum, da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum,
I got that little love song on my brain.
Da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum, I guess there's no escapin' from
The rhythm of a rainy day refrain.

The lovely day we met,
I still remember well.
Who cared if it was wet,
'Cause like the rain we fell!

An April afternoon,
A rainy day romance.
The raindrops played a tune,
Our hearts began to dance!

Da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum, da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum,
I'm so in love I'll always love the rain!
Da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum, I get the sweetest memories from
The rhythm of a rainy day refrain.

The lovely day we met,
I still remember well.
Who cared if it was wet,
'Cause like the rain we fell!

An April afternoon,
A rainy day romance.
The raindrops played a tune,
Our hearts began to dance!

Da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum, da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum,
I'm so in love I'll always love the rain!
Da-rim-da-rum da-rim-da-rum, I get the sweetest memories from
The rhythm of a rainy day refrain.

Just see them all glitter
And flutter and flitter,
The raindrops gather
And patter and pitter
The rhythm of a rainy day refrain!
