It Might As Well Rain Until September -Carole King

Since the month of September is near an end, I figured it's better late than never to post this one by the ever-talented Carole King. This song, along with many of her hits is featured in the recent Broadway musical, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. The famous songstress is portrayed brilliantly by now Tony Winner Jessie Mueller. I'm not usually one for jukebox musicals but I must admit, I actually really enjoyed the cast album for this one. I invite you to check it out and sing this lovely ditty.
Here are the lyrics:

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
Although 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 thing 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 gray 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

Here's the album version of the song. Jessie Mueller really does a fabulous job as Carole King:
