Here's That Rainy Day

Barney Kessel (1927--2004)

maybe i should have saved those leftover dreams
funny, but here's that rainy day
here's that rainy day they told me about
and i laughed at the thought
that it might turn out this way

where is that worn-out wish that i threw aside
after it brought my lover near?
funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
funny, that rainy day is here
