WAS IT RAIN ? (Lou Handman / Walter Hirsch) Frances Langford Also recorded by : Jack Hylton Orch.; Peg LaCentra; Guy Mitchell; Artie Shaw. Skies were gray that rainy day We parted in the lane; Was it tears that fell or was it rain ? There we stood as lovers would; Did parting bring you pain? Was it tears that fell or was it rain ? I couldn't tell if your eyes were misty, Or if you felt regret, I noticed when you kissed me That both your cheeks were wet. Till we meet again, my sweet, That mem'ry will remain. Was it tears that fell or was it rain ?
