Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him saying
Nothing will change
Come dancing with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain on our skin
And his kisses hotter than the
Santa Ana winds
Whispering our goodbyes
Waiting for a train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain

I remember laughing till we almost cried
(There at the station that night)
I remember looking in his eyes

Oh my love, it’s you and that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart, I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Doesn’t matter what I do now
Doesn’t matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart, I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

I can hear the whistle
Military train
I was dancing with my baby
In the summer rain
I can hear him singing
Ooh “Love Is Strange”
Come dance with me baby
In the summer rain

I remember the rain pouring down
And we poured our hearts out
As the train pulled out
I can see my baby
Waving from the train
It was the last time that I saw him
In the summer rain

Oh my love, it’s you and that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart, I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Doesn’t matter what I do now
Doesn’t matter what I say
Somewhere in my heart, I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Every time I see the lightning,
Every time I hear the thunder,
Every time I close the window,
When this happens in the summer
Oh the night is so inviting
I can feel that you are so close
I can feel you when the wind blows
Blows right through my heart

Oh my love, it’s you and that I dream of
Oh my love, since that day
Somewhere in my heart, I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

Every night and every day now
Though I know you’ve gone away
Somewhere in my heart, I’m always
Dancing with you in the summer rain

The song is about a man who goes away to war and leaves his wife, saying that nothing will change – they will be together forever and always. The song is set in the present as his widow sings it, remembering the last time she saw him. It was released around the world in 1990 and was issued as a CD single, 7″ single and a 12″ single.

Carlisle’s version had minor success on the charts reaching the top thirty in the United States and the UK, but was a bigger hit in Australia, where it reached the Top Ten. It was later covered by artists including Slinkee Minx, whose cover version of the song also reached the top ten in Australia.
