The Day that the Rains Came Down
Words & Music by Pierre Delanoe & Gilbert Becaud; English lyrics by Carl SigmanRecorded by Jane Morgan, 1958 (#21)
E7 A D9 A
The day that the rains came down, Mother Earth smiled again;
A AM7 Bm7-5 E7 F#m Bm D9 E7
Now the lilacs could bloom; now the fields could grow greener.
(N.C.) A D9 A
The day that the rains came down, buds were born, love was born
A AM7 Bm7-5 E7 F#m F#m7 Bm
As the young buds will grow, so our young love will grow -
D9 E7 A
Love, sweet love.
Bridge:
Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 E7
A robin sang a song of love,
A F#m A F#m
A willow tree reached up to the heavens
Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 E7
As if to thank the sky above
A D9 A D9 A
For all that rain, that wel - come rain;
Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 E7
We looked across the mea - dow - land
A F#m A F#m
And seemed to sense a kind of a miracle
Bm7-5 E7 Bm7-5 E7
Much too deep to un - der - stand -
A F#m D9 E7
And there we were, so much in love.
(N.C.) A D9 A
The day that the rains came down, mountain streams swelled with pride.
A AM7 Bm7-5 E7 F#m Bm D9 E7
Gone the dry river bed; gone the dust from the val - ley.
(N.C.) A D9 A
The day that the rains came down, buds were born, love was born;
A AM7 Bm7-5 E7 F#m F#m7 Bm
As the young buds will grow, so our young love will grow -
D9 E7 A F#m D9 E7 A
Love, sweet love, rain sweet rain.
