Sweet Rain

A soft spring rain like a lovers breath
Upon my roof... light footsteps
A sweet deluge of kisses
Moist and nurturing ease
Greeting my morning with passion
Like a lover come to tease
Oh sweet first rain of Springtime
Amore ' come to call
Kissing my rooftop with magic
Caressing my morning and all
Urging all of the new growth
Stand up and reach for the skies
Show your panonine colors
Let your messages fly
Sweetening taste of a lover
Lifting my passions for Spring
Calling upon all my favors
Perfuming me with a sweet rain.
