Soon It's Gonna Rain

This is Soon It's Gonna Rain from the 2006 Original offbroadway cast recording of The Fantasticks! No copyright infringement intended, this video is only for your listening pleasure! Lyrics are below!

Hear how the wind begins to whisper.
See how the leaves go streaming by.
Smell how the velvet rain is falling,
Out where the fields are warm and dry.
Now is the time to run inside and stay.
Now is the time to find a hideaway
Where we can stay.

Soon it's gonna rain.
I can see it.
Soon it's gonna rain.
I can tell.
Soon it's gonna rain.
What are we gonna do?

Soon it's gonna rain.
I can feel it.
Soon it's gonna rain.
I can tell.
Soon it's gonna rain.
What'll we do with you?

We'll find four limbs of a tree.
We'll build four walls and a floor.
We'll bind it over with leaves,
And run inside to stay.

Then we'll let it rain.
We'll not fell it.
Then we'll let it rain,
Rain pell-mell.

And we'll not complain
If it never stops at all.
We'll live and love
Within our own four walls.

We'll find four limbs of a tree.
We'll build four walls and a floor.
We'll bind it over with leaves,
And run inside to stay.

Soon it's gonna rain.
Come run inside to stay!
Soon it's gonna rain.
For soon it's gonna rain.
I can see it.
I can feel it.
Run inside and...

Then we'll let it rain.
We'll not feel it.
Then we'll let it rain.
Ran pell-mell.

And we'll not complain
- Happy ending...
If it never stops at all.
Then we'll let it rain.
Why complain?

We'll live and love within our walls.
Happily we'll live and love,
No cares at all.
Happily we'll live and love
Within our castle walls.

A 2006 "new" cast recording can hardly be called the "original." The orginal cast of the Fantasticks went to the boards in 1960!!

[keirafan7]

@Victor1930. It isn't the original cast. It's the original cast of the 2006 show.

[MusicMeg2012]

This song is so great! Who plays Lusia and Matt in this version?

[keirafan7]

@MusicMeg2012

Matt was Santino Fontana  and Sara Jean Ford was Luisa. =)

[JuliaAbueva]

Julia Abueva (@13) was the youngest Louisa for the production of the Fantasticks.

@keirafan7 I believe what Victor1930 meant to express in his comment is the performances on this "New Off-Broadway Recording" (2006) pale in comparison to the performances of the original cast, e.g., Jerry Orbach as El Gallo, et al, on the "Original Cast Recording" (c.1960) ~ and I couldn't agree more ~ in tune, but bland, milk-toast performances compared to those delivered by the original cast; special and spectacular.

@fishyfish4444 The Fantasticks was an off-broadway production.
