Do I have to tell the story
Of a thousand rainy days
Since we first met

But it’s always me that ends up getting wet
Every little thing she does is magic
Every little thing she does just turns me on
Even though my life before was tragic
Now I know my love for her goes on..

Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we’re together
Love you when we’re apart..
