"I Get The Blues When It Rains"
(1929. Harry Stoddard, music - Howard Deitz, lyrics)

Verse:
It was raining, dear, when I met you
You smiled, the sun shone through
Then it rained again and I lost you
Just why I never knew.
Now ev'ry time the storm clouds gather way up in the sky,
I see them all and I recall those happy days gone by.
 
Chorus:
I get the blues when it rains,
The blues I can't lose when it rains
Each little drop that falls on my window pane
Always reminds me of the trears I've shed in vain
I sit and wait for the sun
To shine down on me once again
It rained when I found you and it rained when I lost you,
That's why I'm so blue when it rains.

There is a second chorus if you want it.
Kind regards,
Bill.
