"The Rainy Day We Met" lyrics

[Oliver:]
New York set the perfect mood on the day we met

[Claire:]
Unbelievable

[Oliver:]
I know

The patter of rain and somewhere, a jazz quartet

[Claire:]
They were playing in the rain?

[Oliver:]
They were inside

[Claire:]
But we were inside?

[Oliver:]
But we were outside!

My umbrella could handle two
I even kept your shoulder dry
And since we both were shy
We barely spoke at all

[Claire:]
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 street
Was silent except our beating hearts
It's all those quiet parts
You later can't forget
One little rainy day

[Both:]
The rainy day we met

[Oliver:]
Your turn

[Claire:]
You stared at your feet, too nervous to say one word

[Oliver:]
Well, what could I have said in that situation?

[Claire:]
Our beautiful silence started to feel absurd

[Oliver:]
But I did offer you-

[Claire:]
(Shouting over Oliver)
You just said it was my turn!

So then in a breathless rush
We both started talking awkwardly

[Both:]
How long have you-
So where are you-
Why don't you go fir-

[Claire:]
We laughed so hard that we forgot our socks were wet

[Both:]
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 busses we missed
On the first night we kissed
On that street in Paris!

[Oliver:]
New York!

[Claire:]
Paris!

[Oliver:]
New York!

[Claire:]
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

[Both:]
The crowded and noisy world
Was silent except our beating hearts
It's all those quiet parts
You later can't forget
Thanks to a rainy day
The rainy day we met

Anyway, that's how we met
