The Rainy Day We Met Lyrics by Darren Criss, Helen J Shen

Maybe Happy Ending (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2025

[OLIVER, spoken]
So, where did we meet?
[CLAIRE, spoken]
On the street?
[OLIVER, spoken]
Yes! It was a rainy day. You forgot your umbrella, so you ran under mine
[CLAIRE, spoken]
I initiated this?
[OLIVER, spoken]
The rain made us feel melancholy, but also romantic, as we walked on the rainy streets of—
[CLAIRE, spoken]
Paris!
[OLIVER]
New York set the perfect mood on the day we met
[CLAIRE, spoken]
Unbelievable
[OLIVER, spoken]
I know
[OLIVER]
The patter of rain and somewhere, a jazz quartet
[CLAIRE, spoken]
They were playing in the rain?
[OLIVER, spoken]
They were inside
[CLAIRE, spoken]
So we were inside?
[OLIVER, spoken]
We were outside!
[OLIVER]
My umbrella could handle two
I even kept your shoulder dry
And since we both were shy
We barely spoke at all
[CLAIRE, spoken]
Did you get this from a movie?
[OLIVER]
You wore a bright red raincoat that magic day
[CLAIRE]
No way would I choose red for a raincoat
[OLIVER]
Your beautiful red fur hat took my breath away
[CLAIRE]
And now you're just describing Santa
[OLIVER]
The crowded and noisy streets
Were silent except our beating hearts
It's all those quiet parts
You later can't forget
One little rainy day
[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
The rainy day we met
[OLIVER, spoken]
Your turn
[CLAIRE]
You stared at your feet, too nervous to say one word
[OLIVER, spoken]
Well, what could I have said in that situation?
[CLAIRE]
Our beautiful silence started to feel absurd
[OLIVER, spoken]
But I did offer you the umbr-
[CLAIRE, spoken]
You just said it was my turn!
[CLAIRE]
So then in a breathless rush
We both started talking awkwardly
[CLAIRE & OLIVER, spoken]
So where are y—
How long have y—
Why don't you go fir—
(laughter)
[CLAIRE]
We laughed so hard that we forgot our socks were wet
[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
All on a rainy day
The rainy day we met
[OLIVER]
That old-timey band
When I first held your hand
And we danced in the subway
[CLAIRE]
The buses we missed
On the first night we kissed
On that street in Paris!
[OLIVER]
New York!
[CLAIRE]
Paris!
[OLIVER]
New York!
[CLAIRE, spoken]
Oh my god
[OLIVER]
The moment our game demanded a name
And love's what we called it
[CLAIRE]
The morning we tried waking up side by side
And knew it was meant to be
[OLIVER]
It seems to me
[CLAIRE & OLIVER]
The crowded and noisy world
Was silent except our beating hearts
It's all those quiet parts
You later can't forget
Thanks to one rainy day
The rainy day we met
Anyway, that's how we met
