Quotes
I'm singing in the rain, just singing in the rain; What a wonderful feeling, I'm happy again. I'm laughing at clouds so dark up above, The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love, Let the stormy clouds chase. Everyone from the place, Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face. I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain, And singin', Singin' in the rain.
I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to dance in the rain.
