Only When It Rains Lyrics Critique- Ballad

It's a duet. Starts with a man, then a woman.
Lemme know what you think :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That day we were sitting at a table
Drinking a beer and reliving memories
I said “Do you remember
When we first met and you made me really see
That life has a funny way of timing things?”

“Yes I remember the day we met,
Left alone with our own imagination,
Stranded in a one-way street
Marked with an undertone of unhappiness,
It was quite a story of how you got there,”

And I said,
Only when it rains,
Do I remember you, in the softest light,
only when it rains,
Do I think of you, And it feels so right,
Only when it rains,
Do I remember the times we spent
Only When it rains,
Do I think of you.

“I believe I asked some strange questions.
And awkwardly you entertained the thought of me,
And as it started to rain,
Huddled together we cried out in laughter,
As we asked our selves those questions once more”

And I said.
Only when it rains,
Do I remember you, in the softest light,
Only when it rains,
Do I think of you, And it feels so right,
Only when it rains,
Do I remember the times we spent,
Only when it rains,
Do I think of you,

We finished our beer and walked away,
A smile sits sadly as we say our last goodbye,
For a minute they just stare,
Saying that they will always remember,

And we said.
Only when it rains,
Do I remember you, in the softest light,
Only when it rains,
Do I think of you, And it feels so right,
Only when it rains,
Do I remember the times we spent
Only when it rains,
Do I think of you, Only when it rains
