Generate meaning
1
The flies have quit their buzzing
2
Even Bear has stopped his barking
3
They all sense something brewing
4
Up the James and headed this way
5
Bobby sips his morning coffee
6
Says 'Have you finished with the funnies?
7
Looks like a storm's coming honey
8
Guess we'll have to stay in bed today'
9
I've heard that into every life
10
A little of it must fall
11
If there's any truth to the saying,
12
Lord, let it be a southern rain
13
Marie was born in Macon, Georgia
14
She met a west coast lawyer
15
He plucked that sweet magnolia
16
And carried her to the hills of West L.A.
17
She says 'I never thought I'd tire of a dollar
18
But this life has grown so hollow
19
Every night there's lipstick on his collar
20
And every morning I wash it away'
21
She heard that into every life
22
A little of it must fall
23
So she spends her evenings praying
24
For a little of that southern rain
25
Cars alive on city streets
26
Of sparkling black water
27
Like waves beneath my window
28
Never break just roll away
29
Tonight, this rain will be my lullaby
30
These cars, my dreams
31
To carry me home to stay
32
The wipers beat a rhythm
33
Truck spray obscures my vision
34
But I'm closing in on my destination
35
Two more hours and I'll be at your door
36
And it will never cease to amaze me
37
How a little rain can drive folks crazy
38
When I'd trade all my blue skies gladly
39
For your blue eyes, crooked smile
40
And a steady downpour
41
I've heard that into every life
42
A little of it must fall,
43
But you'll never catch me complaining
44
About too much of that southern rain
