Gene Austin - A Garden In The Rain (1929) (By Carroll Gibbons & James Dyrenforth)

Gene Austin

I recall a Summer's day
When you and I had strolled away,
And suddenly a storm drew nigh.

Seeking shelter from the rain,
We hurried down a little lane
And found a lovely spot nearby.


'Twas just a garden in the rain,
Close to a little leafy lane,
A touch of colour 'neath skies of grey.

The raindrops kissed the flower beds,
The blossoms raised their thirsty heads,
A perfumed "thank you!" they seemed to say

Surely here was charm beyond compare to view,
Maybe it was just that I was there with you.

'Twas just a garden in the rain,
But then the sun came out again,
And sent us happily on our way
