When It Rains

When it rains, late at night
In the middle of the summertime
Oh the sound is so light
On a beautiful summer night.
Fireflies
In the night
Lighting up and glowing bright
Owls hoot
And take flight
Into the rain that falls late at night.
When it rains, late at night
In the middle of the summertime
Oh the sound is so light
On a beautiful summer night.
Close your eyes
And hold me tight
Listen to the orchestra outside
Take a breath
Raindrops chime
On the window in the summertime.
When it rains, late at night
In the middle of the summertime
Oh the sound is so light
On a beautiful summer night.
Rest you head
Now there is no harm
Just stay with me
Right here in my arms
Listen close
Crickets chip "goodnight"
With the rain they make a sound so calm and light.
When it rains, late at night
In the middle of the summertime
Oh the sound is so light
On a beautiful summer night.
So close your eyes and dry your tears
Calm yourself, forget your fears
Clear your thoughts of worry and of pain
Rest you mind and hear the rain
Don't you worry he'll come back
To hurt him it would take a storm much bigger than tht
The storm is gone, it won't be back again
All that's left is gently falling rain
Come closer dear
Everything will be alright
Don't cry my dear
On this beautiful summer night.

I like the rhythm, and I love how you end each verse with the last word in each line of the chorus! I didn't notice at first, and when I did, I wasn't surprised. You hide so many things in each of your stories and poems, I discover something new every time I reread one.

You've got a brilliant rhythm and this is beautiful written.. I personally would have turn this into a few stanza's but I like the one giant stanza
