3.Rain

It was raining, raining, raining hard.
It was falling on my head.
It was falling on the stars.
  It was falling on the sun.
It was falling on my shoes.
  I got soaking wet.
I got soaking wet.
  But I stayed outside.
I stayed outside.
The rain was sweet.
The rain was warm.
 The rain was soft.
It reminded me of home.

It was raining, raining, raining hard.
It was falling, falling, falling on the stars.
  It was raining, raining, raining hard.
It was falling, falling, falling on the stars.

Soft rain
Raining, raining
Sweet rain
Raining, raining
Warm rain
Raining, raining

Sweet soft       Raining, raining
Warm rain      Raining, raining
Sweet soft       Raining, raining
Warm rain        Raining, raining



4. Sally Speaks Spanish, But Not Very Well


Sally speaks Spanish, but not very well. When she tries to speak Spanish,
you really can't tell
what language she's speaking or trying to speak.
The first time I heard her, 
I thought it was Greek.




5. How's His English?


His English is wonderful, 
he speaks very well.
His accent is perfect. You really can't tell
That he isn't a native of the U.S.A. There's only one problem, 
he has nothing to say.
