Rhapsody In The Rain
Lou Christie

Baby the raindrops play for me
A lonely rhapsody ’cause on our first date
We were makin’ out in the rain
And in this car our love went much too far
It was exciting as thunder
Tonight I wonder where you are
The windshield wipers seemed to say
“Together – together – together – together”
And now they are saying
“Oh, ne… ver, ne… ver”
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby
Rhapsody in the rain
Rhapsody in the rain
Angels keep cryin’ for me (don’t… stop)
Angels keep cryin’ for me (don’t… stop)
Baby, I’m parked outside your door
Remember makin’ love, makin’ love, we were makin’ love in the storm
(sha-la-la-la la-la)
And then a flash from above
Lightning – lightning – lightning – lightning
Just li-ike our love
It was exciting, exciting
Ooh-wee, ooh-wee, baby
guitar solo:
Yesterday, bring back yesterday
Rhapsody in the rain

Lightning Strikes
Song by Lou Christie

Listen to me, baby, you gotta understand
You’re old enough to know the makings of a man
Listen to me, baby, it’s hard to settle down
Am I asking too much for you to stick around?
Every boy wants a girl
He can trust to the very end
Baby, that’s you
Won’t you wait? But ’til then
When I see lips beggin’ to be kissed
(Stop)
I can’t stop
(Stop)
I can’t stop myself
(Stop, stop)
Lightning’s striking again
Lightning’s striking again
Nature’s takin’ over my one-track mind
Believe it or not, you’re in my heart all the time
All the girls are sayin’ that you’ll end up a fool
For the time being, baby, live by my rules
When I settle down
I want one baby on my mind
Forgive and forget
And I’ll make up for all lost time
If she’s put together fine
And she’s readin’ my mind
(Stop)
I can’t stop
(Stop)
I can’t stop myself
(Stop, stop)
Lightning’s striking again
Lightning’s striking again
And again and again and again
Lightning’s striking again
Lightning’s striking again
There’s a chapel in the pines
Waiting for us, around the bend
Picture in your mind
Love forever, but ’til then
If she gives me a sign
That she wants to make time
(Stop)
I can’t stop
(Stop)
I can’t stop myself
(Stop, stop)
Lightning’s striking again
Lightning’s striking again
And again and again and again
Lightning’s striking again
And again and again and again

Lou Christie was always one of my favorites, he had a great voice and catchy songs that stayed in your head all day.😥 Christina Aguilera grew up about 15 minutes from where I live and she went to the same high school as my husband. Also George Benson, Perry Como was about 30 minutes south of the city. Years ago, I worked with Andy Warhol’s nephew.

Another day of sun and heavy rain.🌞⛈ Last “cool” day before the heat sets in. Welcome summer, keep the A/C on!

I’ll probably go visit mom and sis tomorrow. You and Poppy have a nice walk later, sending lots of hugs.🤗💖

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California Kitten wishing you a great day. 💕😎🎈

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Lady I have noticed lately some artists are from your area.
I believe Lou Christie is one of them. May He Rest In Peace. My mom plays his
music and I love his music. 💕

Wishing you a cooler day than OZ. The heat is on and we will be roasting until next
week. The A/C is running and it is what it is I believe it’s called Summer. 🎈😎

So Summerland has already started here in OZ.

Wishing you and Jake a great Thursday. 😎💕 I am still doing this and that with my
projects. LOL!

@taci,

Good morning in California Betty Crocker. 😎🎈Enjoy your baking sounds really good.
OZ is very hot so no oven for me. I went outside early we have a high UV Alert today
here in OZ.

Summer has arrived. 😎

Enjoy the trails. 🎈💕

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 🎈😎Oodie I made this up in my head years
ago I mean it when I say may this day find you doing well. 💕

I know it’s hot and humid good luck with the planting and I hope the help came
on time. 😎🎈

I know you will see your husband soon enjoy the visit. I hope he can eat Ice Cream
on such a warm day. OZ is very warm and will get warmer real soon.

Take it easy and one step at a time. Let me know how your day goes. 😎🎈

@xango,

@loaf,

June 21 – Hello, Summer!

The summer solstice is almost here – the longest day and shortest night of the year!
On June 21, the Northern Hemisphere tilts closest to the Sun, marking the official start of astronomical summer.

What does that mean for you? More daylight, later sunsets, and a chance to celebrate the season in all its brilliance. Across cultures and continents, people have honored this turning point for thousands of years – with bonfires, dances, and skywatching.
And there’s more going on than just sunshine. This is also the shortest night of the year – a perfect time to grab a telescope or your favorite stargazing app and check out what’s visible after sunset. The stars, planets, and maybe even a meteor or two are waiting.
Soak it up. Make it count. Summer is almost here. 😎🎈

Today is Juneteenth, a day when we honor and celebrate the freedom of Black Americans in the United States. Happy Juneteenth! ❤️🖤💚

Yes, It is TRUE! I’m BAAACK, And you will see me full time, as an HSN host once again, this July!

Can’t wait to see you and shop with you😘 PA, here I come!
