Lyrics Lora Loves (4th Edition)

[lora]

I am, of course, familiar with this song through Bette Midler, who recorded it for the soundtrack to Beaches. Hopefully some of you will have comments to share about this classic.

I Think It's Going To Rain Today
Randy Newman

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
Their frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
I think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me, the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna rain today

Lonely, so lonely
Tin can at my feet
I think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me, the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna rain today

Great choice here!These lyrics really create images in my mind of wet,windswept streets that sit deserted except for a few people in their Sundays frame of mind.Lovely.

I see pretty much the same thing that you do, except everything has sort of a blue-grey cast to it.
