Here's That Rainy Day    Johnny Burke, Jimmy Van Heusen, Rain, Paul Desmond, Stan Getz

Maybe I should have saved those leftover dreams
Funny, but here's that rainy day
 
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way
 
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my love so near
 
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here








Former late-night talk show host Johnny Carson said that "Here's That Rainy Day" was his favorite ballad. Carson and Bette Midler famously sang the song on the next-to-last show of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson on May 21, 1992. After Carson's death in 2005, Doc Severinsen, Tommy Newsom, and Ed Shaughnessy performed the song along with Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra on Late Show with David Letterman.
