~Rediscovered this song I wrote a few months back. I think it’s pretty sappy, but it passed the family test with flying colors. What do you think?

I made a plan years ago
I would have a solo show
I made decisions for times ahead
I didn’t think I was misled

[chorus]

And you came like rain on my parade
And I wouldn’t have it any other way

I made assumptions about the future
None of which involved a suitor
But, God this I will pray
Rain, rain don’t go away

I thought I knew what my life would be
But it’s just now that I’m starting to see
Can’t you tell I’m caught up in your storm
Who knew life would take this form?

[chorus]

You came like rain on my parade
And I wouldn’t have it any other way

[Bridge]

Please, please don’t pass through
I’m completely blown away by you
Go on, grow higher
Go on, grow wider
It’ll scare me half to death
And take away my breath
But I’ll wait out the fear
And stay with you, dear

Cuz you came like rain on my parade
And I wouldn’t want it any other way
