Carole King - It Might As Well Rain Until September lyrics

rate me

Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King.

- This 1962 hit was actually the demo recording by Carole King,

intended as a song for Bobby Vee.

- The recording was so casual that to this day the master of

it does not exist, and any CD versions of it have poor quality.

- Carole King then went close to 9 years before her next hit,

although all those residuals from all those great early

60s songs she wrote kept her out of the poor house.

What shall I write?

What can I say?

How can I tell you how much I miss you?

The weather here has been as nice as it can be

Althought it doesn't really matter much to me

For all the fun I'll have while you're so far away

It might as well rain until September

I don't need sunny skies for things I like to do

'Cause I stay home the whole day long and think of you

As far as I'm concerned each day's a rainy day

So It might as well rain until September

My friends look forward to their picnics on the beach

Yes everybody loves the summertime

But you know darling while your arms are out of reach

The summer isn't any friend of mine

It doesn't matter whether skies are grey or blue

It's raining in my heart 'cause I can't be with you

I'm only living for the day you're home to stay

So It might as well rain until September

September, September, oh

It might as well rain until September
