00:00Thank you, thank you.

00:16We dreamers have our ways

00:19Of facing rainy days

00:22And somehow we survive

00:25We keep the feelings warm

00:31Protect them from the storm

00:34Until our time arrives

00:38Then one day the sun appears

00:44And we come shining through those lonely years

00:53I made it through the rain

00:59I kept my world protected

01:02I made it through the rain

01:07I kept my point of view

01:10I made it through the rain

01:14And found myself respected

01:17By the others who

01:20Got rained on too

01:24And made it through

01:28You know, every time I sing this song these days

01:39I think about my grandfather

01:40My grandfather was this Russian immigrant

01:44Who supported my mother, my grandmother and myself

01:47For most of his life

01:49And although I'll always be grateful to him for that

01:52The real reason that I'll never forget Grandpa

01:56Was because he was the first person in my family

01:59That actually noticed that I was musical

02:02And I don't know how he did that

02:03Because we couldn't afford an instrument or anything

02:06But Grandpa just got it

02:08He just figured out that I was a musical kid

02:11You know, and I remember that on Saturday afternoons

02:14He used to take me over the Brooklyn Bridge

02:16Into Manhattan

02:17To a little Record Your Own Voice booth

02:20That he found in Manhattan

02:22For a quarter

02:22And for a quarter

02:23And a quarter in those days

02:24Was a lot of money

02:25And he used to put his quarter in

02:27And he used to try to get me to sing anything

02:29And I was so young

02:30I didn't know what he wanted me to do

02:33But the first time he did it

02:37He tried to get me to sing

02:38Happy Birthday to my cousin Dennis

02:40And I just wouldn't

02:42And we have the 78

02:44The scratchy 78 record

02:45Hey, Brian

02:47Could we play this 78 record

02:49For my friends here?

02:50All right

02:51I have to

02:51Boy, come on

02:52Go ahead

02:52That's Grandpa

02:53I have to

02:54Boy, say

02:58Come on

02:59No, no

03:00Sing it

03:03Sing it

03:04Go ahead

03:05Go ahead

03:06Sing it

03:07Go ahead

03:08Come on

03:09Sing it

03:09This goes on for 10 minutes

03:11He just wouldn't give up, you know

03:14And every Saturday afternoon

03:16He would take me to

03:17Try to get me to sing

03:18And eventually one Saturday afternoon

03:20I sang something for him

03:22And I liked it

03:25I did, I liked it

03:27It wasn't so much the singing

03:29Thanks

03:30It wasn't so much the singing

03:32That I liked

03:32But it was the music

03:34That I liked

03:35It was

03:36I felt

03:37Even at that young age

03:38I felt like I was connected

03:40To something

03:41I understood it

03:43I just understood music

03:45I

03:45Anyway

03:48Years later

03:49When Mandy went number one

03:50We played Carnegie Hall

03:52And

03:54Thanks

03:55We played Carnegie Hall

03:58And I invited everybody

03:59I'd ever known

04:00To Carnegie Hall

04:02And I invited my family too

04:03And Grandpa was there

04:04And Grandpa was in the audience

04:06And when I walked out on stage

04:08Scared to death

04:08Grandpa stood up

04:09And gave me a standing ovation

04:10And because he stood up

04:12The whole audience stood up

04:13So I got my first big standing ovation

04:14And

04:16And when they sat down

04:20He wouldn't sit down

04:22He just

04:23He just kept standing there

04:25And applauding

04:25And I

04:26I looked at him, you know

04:27And my fear just

04:28Vanished

04:29Because I knew what he was thinking

04:31You know

04:31He was thinking

04:32There's my grandson

04:33On the stage of Carnegie Hall

04:36Down the block

04:37From that 25 cent

04:38Record your own voice

04:40What a life

04:42I made it through the rain

04:48I kept my world protected

04:50I made it through the rain

04:54I kept my point of view

04:56I made it through the rain

05:00And found myself respected

05:04By the others who

05:06As we got rained on to

05:09I made it through

05:13Come on, darling

05:13Sing it, bro

05:14Go ahead

05:15Come on, sing it

05:16Come on, darling

05:17I made it through

05:44I made it through

05:47I made it through

05:49You

05:49I made it through

05:50Be ממ�
