The Day that the Rains Came Down

The day that the rains came down, Mother Earth smiled again;

Now the lilacs could bloom;           now the fields could grow green   er.

The day that the rains came down, buds were born, love was born

As the young buds will grow,           so our young love will grow –

Love, sweet love.

A robin s      ang a song of love,

A willow tree reached up to the heavens

As if to thank the sky above

For all that rain, that wel – come rain;

We looked across the mea – dow – land

And seemed to sense a kind of a miracle

Much too deep to un – der – stand –

And there we were, so much in love.

The day that the rains came down, mountain streams swelled with pride.

Gone the dry river bed;        gone the dust from the val – ley.

The day that the rains came down, buds were born, love was born;

As the young buds will grow,           so our young love will grow –

Love, sweet love, rain sweet rain.
