Dancing in the rain

It rained tonight. In fact, it was a torrential downpour. My friend had scooped me up to take me out for a much-needed girls' night, and as we drove through sheets of water, the gutters began to overflow and mini-rivers gurgled down the drains around us. Enormous bursts of lightning blazed across the sky like natural fireworks. Undaunted, she popped in some music and beamed at me: "This is a perfect time for me to play you this song," she said. "I is so you! Every time I hear it I think of you."

Thank you to my sweet friend for believing in me and for reminding me to dance in the rain rather than drowning in it...

All I need now is a polka-dot umbrella. :)

"Dancing in the Rain" Lyrics 

by Hilary Weeks

It clouded over on Monday morning
And I'd hoped to wake up to sunshine
Come Tuesday I think I felt it
A little raindrop on top of my head 
On Wednesday no mistakin' it
By Thursday no escaping it 
The storm had rolled in

I thought about going back to bed
Or reading the book on my nightstand
I considered calling the weather man
Just to ask when it might end

I did something you would not have thought
I grabbed my polka-dot umbrella
And I opened the door... 

And I danced in the rain 
I let my dreams know I hadn't forgotten them 
I let my heart take the lead and 
I told my hopes to get themselves up again
And I danced, I looked, yes I danced in the rain
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/h/hilary_weeks/dancing_in_the_rain.html ]
I invited my worries to step aside
I needed room to see in front of me
As the raindrops fell on my overcoat
I let 'em roll right off of my back

And I waited for the rainbow
Cause Heaven and me we both know
This storm's gonna pass... 

And I danced in the rain 
I let my dreams know I hadn't forgotten them 
I let my heart take the lead and 
I told my hopes to get themselves up again
And I danced, I looked, yes I danced... 

I danced till my fears washed away
Then I thanked the rain for coming... today
So I could dance in the rain 
And let my dreams know I hadn't forgotten them

I danced in the rain 
I let my dreams know I hadn't forgotten them 
I let my heart take the lead and 
I told my hopes to get themselves up again
And I danced, I looked, yes I danced in the rain

I'm dancing in the rain
