have you ever seen the rain?

Hallo peoples!
I cannot for the life of me determine who sang this song best. A great oldie! Lol, I even like the one in the GE commercial.

Someone told me long ago

There's a calm before the storm, I know;
It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say,
It'll rain a sunny day, I know;
Shinin' down like water.
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before,
Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know;
Been that way for all my time.
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow, I know;
It can't stop, I wonder. I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah! I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you
ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Bonnie Tyler's is too rock and roll for me. I love Rod Stewart's! Also sang by Creedance Clearwater Revival, The Jeevas, John Fogerty and a fast paced version by the Ramones.

Speaking of rain, we had a terrible storm this weekend. It was pretty scary hearing the tornado warnings, and sirens. The city I lived in was spared, however, only thirty minutes from here the storm was disastrous. In Hugo, a small town of 1000, a child was killed, and hundreds of people injured and lost their homes as the tornado swept through. Poleni.

If you are interested in helping out the Star Tribune has a list of ways one can do this [click here].
