The Rainy Day We Met

Lyrics

[OLIVER, spoken] So, where did we meet? [CLAIRE, spoken] On the street? [OLIVER, spoken] Yes, it was a rainy day You forgot your umbrella, so you ran under mine [CLAIRE, spoken] I initiated this? [OLIVER, spoken] The rain made us feel melancholy, but also romantic, as we walked on the rainy streets of— [CLAIRE, spoken] Paris [OLIVER] New York set the perfect mood on the day we met [CLAIRE, spoken] Unbelievable [OLIVER, spoken] I know [OLIVER] The patter of rain and somewhere, a jazz quartet [CLAIRE, spoken] They were playing in the rain? [OLIVER, spoken] They were inside [CLAIRE, spoken] So we were inside? [OLIVER, spoken] We were outside [OLIVER] My umbrella could handle two I even kept your shoulder dry And since we both were shy We barely spoke at all [CLAIRE, spoken] Did you get this from a movie? [OLIVER] You wore a bright red raincoat that magic day [CLAIRE] No way would I choose red for a raincoat [OLIVER] Your beautiful red fur hat took my breath away [CLAIRE] And now you're just describing Santa [OLIVER] The crowded and noisy streets Were silent except our beating hearts It's all those quiet parts You later can't forget One little rainy day [CLAIRE & OLIVER] The rainy day we met [OLIVER, spoken] Your turn [CLAIRE] You stared at your feet, too nervous to say one word [OLIVER, spoken] Well, what could I have said in that situation? [CLAIRE] Our beautiful silence started to feel absurd [OLIVER, spoken] But I did offer you the umbr– [CLAIRE, spoken] You just said it was my turn [CLAIRE] So then in a breathless rush We both started talking awkwardly [CLAIRE & OLIVER, spoken] So where are y— How long have y— Why don't you go fir— [CLAIRE] We laughed so hard that we forgot our socks were wet [CLAIRE & OLIVER] All on a rainy day The rainy day we met [OLIVER] That old-timey band When I first held your hand And we danced in the subway [CLAIRE] The buses we missed On the first night we kissed On that street in Paris [OLIVER] New York [CLAIRE] Paris [OLIVER] New York [CLAIRE, spoken] Oh my God [OLIVER] The moment our game demanded a name And love's what we called it [CLAIRE] The morning we tried waking up side by side And knew it was meant to be [OLIVER] It seems to me [CLAIRE & OLIVER] The crowded and noisy world Was silent except our beating hearts It's all those quiet parts You later can't forget Thanks to one rainy day The rainy day we met Anyway, that's how we met
