One of THOSE Days

One day while in grad school I was walking home in the pouring rain and realized I either had to laugh or cry. So, I started singing "Bring on the Rain" at the top of my lungs.

Yep, just my luck. Some man on the third floor balcony of a multi-family house laughs and shouts some encouraging words to me. I stop singing and skipping down the sidewalk and waved my thanks.

Today there was no physical rain, but I still felt like singing this song:

Another day has almost come and gone
Can't imagine what else could go wrong
Sometimes I'd like to hide away somewhere and lock the door
A single battle lost but not the war ('cause)

Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

It's almost like the hard times circle 'round
A couple drops and they all start coming down
Yeah, I might feel defeated,
And I might hang my head
I might be barely breathing - but I'm not dead, no ('cause)

Tomorrow's another day
And I'm thirsty anyway
So bring on the rain

I'm not gonna let it get me down
I'm not gonna cry
And I'm not gonna lose any sleep tonight ('cause)

Tomorrow's another day
And I am not afraid
So bring on the rain

- Bring on the Rain, Jo Dee Massina
