Lonnie Johnson - Pouring Down Rain (1967) lyrics

My baby called me this mornin’, an’ it was pourin’ down rain.

My baby called me this mornin’, an’ it was pourin’ down rain.

She says, “Baby, I’ll be so glad to be back in your arms again.”

She says, “Daddy, you have been so sweet and kind to me.”

She says, “Daddy, you have been so sweet and kind to me.”

And when I’m away from you, my heart is full of misery.”

“Daddy, thank you for lovin’ me, thank you all my life.

Daddy, thank you for lovin’ me, thank you with all my life.

I can always thank God for your love, and I’ll try to be a lovin’ wife.”

“Darlin’, you don’t have to forget, you mean just that much to me.

Darlin’, you don’t have to forget, you mean just that much to me.

I’ve got a special place in my heart. There you will always be.”
