17 Singing in the Rain I'm singing in the rain Just singing in the rain What a glorious feeling C I'm happy again Let the stormy clouds chase Everyone from the place Come on with the rain C I've a smile on my face I'm laughing at clouds So dark up above 'Cause the sun's in my heart And I'm ready for love I'll walk down the lane With a happy refrain 'Cause I'm singing Just singing in the rain.
