lyrics

Eddie Rabbitt was a Country singer and songwriter, but this was a huge crossover hit, going to #1 on the Pop, Adult Contemporary and Country charts. The song is about the peaceful and cleansing feeling a thunderstorm can bring.. According to The Billboard Book of #1 Hits, Rabbitt first got the idea for the song in the '60s when he was sitting in his small apartment on a rainy night. He sang, "I love a rainy night, I love a rainy night" into a tape recorder, but didn't complete the song until 1980, when he discovered the tape in his basement. He finished the song with the help of fellow songwriters Even Stevens and David Malloy. (source) Lyrics to Eddie Rabbitt's "I Love a Rainy Night" Well I love a rainy night; I love a rainy night. I love to hear the thunder; watch the lightning when I lights up the sky. You know it makes me feel good. Well, I love a rainy night; it's such a beautiful sight. I love to feel the rain on my face; taste the rain on my lips, in the moonlight shadows. Showers wash all my cares away; I wake up to a sunny day, 'cause I love a rainy night. Yeah, I love a rainy night. Well, I love a rainy night. Well,I love a rainy night, ooh, ooh. Well I love a rainy night; I love a rainy night. I love to hear the thunder; watch the lightning when I lights up the sky. You know it makes me feel good. Well, I love a rainy night; it's such a beautiful sight. I love to feel the rain on my face; taste the rain on my lips, in the moonlight shadows. Puts a song in this heart of mine; puts a smile on my face ev'ry time, 'cause I love a rainy night. Yeah, I love a rainy night. Well, I love a rainy night. Well,I love a rainy night, ooh, ooh. Well, I love a rainy night. Yeah, I love a rainy night. Well, I love a rainy night.
