* Well I love a rainy night (2x) I love to hear the thunder Watch the lightning When it lights up the sky You know it makes me feel good Well I love a rainy night It's such a beautiful sight I love to feel the rain On my face To taste the rain on my lips In the moonlight shadow Showers wash All my cares away I wake up to a sunny day 'Cause I love a rainy night Yes I love a rainy night Well I love a rainy night (2x) Repeat * Puts a song In this heart of mine Puts a smile on my face every time 'Cause I love a rainy night Yes I love a rainy night Ooh I love a rainy night Yeah I love a rainy night Repeat #

Brief biography courtesy of Wikipedia
Eddie Rabbitt (born November 27, 1941 - May 7, 1998) was a country music singer. He enjoyed much pop success in his career, helping develop the crossover-influenced sound in country music during the 1970s and 80s. During his career, he scored 26 number-ones. Rabbitt was born Edward Thomas Rabbitt in Brooklyn, New York, but he was raised in East Orange, New Jersey. In the 60s, Eddie recorded for 20th Century Records and Columbia Records. In 1968, he moved out to Nashville, where he got his first start as a songwriter. In the beginning, Roy Drusky and George Morgan cut songs he wrote. His biggest success as a songwriter came in 1970, when Elvis Presley recorded his song "Kentucky Rain". The song became one of Presley's biggest hits and marked Rabbit as one of Nashville's leading young songwriters. Rabbitt signed with Elektra Records in 1974. His first single, "You Get To Me" made the Top 40 that year, and two songs in 1975, "Forgive And Forget" and "I Should Have Married You" nearly made the Top 10, but in 1976, Rabbitt got his first #1 Country hit with the song "Drinkin' My Baby (Off My Mind)". He achieved more recognition with the songs "You Don't Love Me Anymore" and "Every Which Way But Loose" (the title track from the Clint Eastwood movie of the same name). However, his biggest hits have to be "I Love a Rainy Night" and "Drivin' My Life Away", both hits for him in 1981. These hits are also probably his best-known and signature tunes. In the 1980s, Rabbitt enjoyed further success in music. In 1982, he teamed up with another Country/Pop crossover star, Crystal Gayle, to record the duet "You and I". The duet eventually became a big crossover smash for both of them that same year. His other #1s include "The Best Year of My Life," "The Wanderer" (a cover of the classic Dion hit), "I Wanna Dance With You," "On Second Thought," and "Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)" (a duet with Juice Newton). However, in the late 1980s, his success was starting to fade. His singles didn't crack the Pop Top 40 during this time. In 1977, he was named Top New Male Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music Awards. In 1981, he also won an American Music Award for Best Pop Male Vocalist in 1981. As the 1980s came to an end, Rabbitt moved more and more away from crossover-styled music. His career declined as contemporary artists such as Garth Brooks and Clint Black rose on the country music charts. However he did continue to record and tour. In the 1990s, he recorded very little, in part because of the illness and subsequent death of his young son. After his son died, Rabbitt became active in raising money for organizations that aid sick children. During his career, Rabbitt scored 26 #1 hits on the country charts and eight Top 40 pop hits. On May 7, 1998, Rabbitt died of lung cancer at the age of 56, and is interred in the Calvary Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee.
