For My Children - Lyrics

I Like A Rainy Day

I like a rainy day,
– some of the time; 
when skies are gray
and the sun don’t shine. 
I like a rainy day,
– some of the time. 
Sometimes I like a rainy day. 

I like to read a book, 
and sing with you. 
I like to sit and cuddle too. 
I like to finger-paint 
and play with clay. 
That’s why I like a rainy day. 

I like a rainy day, 
– some of the time. 
To stay inside with you is fine. 
Cause we can always think of  
lots of things to play. 
So why not have a rainy day? 

I like to Rock-n-Roll, 
and twirl with you;
play hide and seek  
and tickle too. 
Chase all around with boppers,  
– even water spray. 
Well why not? It’s a rainy day. 

I like a rainy day,  
– some of the time; 
when the whole day feels  
like it’s yours and mine. 
I like a rainy day, oh, 
– some of the time. 
Sometimes I like a rainy day. 

Well raindrops tap the roof
like a million drums, 
that fairies play
just to join the fun. 
They wanna let us know,
while the sun’s away, 
it’s great to have a rainy day. 

I like a rainy day 
– some of the time; 
when clouds are near 
– and the sun don’t shine. 
I like a rainy day, 
– some of the time. 
Sometimes I like a rainy day. 

I like to get dressed up 
and pretend with you; 
make up some songs, 
like we always do. 
I like to listen to
what you have to say. 
That’s why it’s such a special day. 

I like a rainy day 
– some of the time. 
To be inside with you is fine. 
I like a rainy day, 
– some of the time. 
So I can stay inside and play. 
That’s why I like a rainy day. 

Sometimes I like a rainy day
…with …you.
