We met some friends at Wall Drug Store in South Dakota this summer. We headed up to Billings, Montana, where the father of the other family had to take a bus home. From there, we travelled on to Yellowstone for a few days. We camped one night in Billings, and while we were there, I wrote this song. I changed the last two lines of the song yesterday (very big improvment), and recorded it last night. My wife has suggested that I add another verse, and I think it is a brilliant suggestion. Just got to get to it. So you are getting three verses now, perhaps a fourth some day in the future.

Hand in hand walking through the park
Clouds come up and the sky grows dark
But the sun’s still shining in my heart
So let it rain
Let it rain
Sun shines down on me
Let it rain
Wash everything clean
Piano sitting in the other room
Little fingers picking out a little tune
That little boy comes from me and you
So let it rain
Let it rain
Sun shines down on me
Let it rain
Wash everything clean
Kissed here hand, left her by his side
Our little girl now is to be his bride
The bond that’s formed cannot be untied
So let it rain
Let it rain
Sun shines down on me
Let it rain
Wash everything clean
My body’s frail and my mind is too
But it lights my soul to set eyes on you
Like the park years ago one more time hold my hand
Then let me slip away to the promised land
