🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • When the sun shine, we shine together
  • Told you I'll be here forever
  • Said I'll always be your friend
  • Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end

Echo the hook

  • It's raining, raining
  • Ooh baby, it's raining, raining
  • Baby, come into me, come into me
  • It's raining, raining
