I Think It's Going to Rain Today

Here's a really gorgeous song I've been wanting to post for some time now. I hope some people actually know it. It was written by Randy Newman and is perhaps most known by Bette Midler's rendition of it from the tear-jerker movie, Beaches, but has been in fact been covered by many artists. Norah Jones and Audra McDonald have particularly lovely versions of it. 
Here are the lyrics: 

Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
The frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
I think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing

And I think it's gonna rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
I think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me the signs implore me
Help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's gonna rain today

Here's Bette Midler's version in it's entirety, which is the one I have posted
