THE LOVIN' SPOONFUL- "RAIN ON THE ROOF"

ROSE TO # 10 IN 1966. LYRICS: You and me and rain on the roof
Caught up in a summer shower
Dryin' while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we'll be caught for hours
Waitin' out the sun

Refrain 1:

You and me were gabbin' away
Dreamy conversation sittin' in the hay
Honey, how long was I laughing in the rain with you
'Cause I didn't feel a drop 'til the thunder brought us to

[repeat intro]

Refrain 2:

You and me underneath the roof of tin
Pretty comfy feelin' how the rain ain't leakin' in
We can sit and dry just as long as it can pour
'Cause the way it makes you look makes me hope it rains some more

Break 2:

[repeat intro]:

[repeat verse 1]

Thanks so much for posting this song! I've always loved it! I hope you don't mind my saying so, but it's "You and me, we're gabbin' away/Dreamy coversation...."

No, you're both right/your both right, on account of/because of poetic licence [sic]. :)

Not to be argumentative, but the song comes from the present tense, in the sense that the couple still is under the roof....

[Fersomling]

What a pretty little song!
