Rain, rain, go away, br Come again another day. br Little children want to play, br In the sun's bright, warm array. br br Raindrops falling from the sky, br Make the flowers drink and sigh. br Puddles form where we once tread, br Turning paths to streams instead. br br Rain, rain, gentle fall, br Quench the thirst of one and all. br Though we miss the sunshine's ray, br We know you'll help the crops to sway. br br Rain, rain, soft and light, br Stay away just for tonight. br Let the stars come out to play, br And light the moonlit, silver bay. br br Rain, rain, when you're done, br We'll dance and sing under the sun. br But for now, please go away, br And return some other day.
