LYRICS:
We dreamers have our ways
Of facing rainy days
And somehow we survive
We keep the feelings warm
Protect them from the storm
Until our time arrives
Then one day the sun appears
And we come shining through those lonely years
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through
When friends are hard to find
And life seems so unkind
Sometimes you feel afraid
Just aim beyond the clouds
And rise above the crowds
And start your own parade
Cause when I chased my fears away
That's when I knew that I could finally say
I made it through the rain
I kept my world protected
I made it through the rain
I kept my point of view
I made it through the rain
And found myself respected
By the others who
Got rained on too
And made it through...

[@melodyszadkowski5256]

You too? 😌 I survived a different storm, losing the love of my life to cancer a month after our 12th wedding anniversary. But music can heal everyone.

[@jessecoons7096]

I want this played at my funeral . So many times I played this with tears streaming down my cheeks during many years of bad times. But I made it through the rain!

[@tinkerbella4605]

I got to see him perform at radio city on Friday. I made my number one wish happen. I think I was a fan of his from the minute I got into this world in 1971. I’m 51 years old. I didn’t think he was going to sing this song and he sang it towards the end of the concert. I sat in my chair and I cried. One I couldn’t believe I was listening to him sing it live. This song has been the background music to my life. I sat in my seat, close my eyes. I just listen to him. It was the best thing in the world so I get where you’re coming from. Have a safe week.

[@marmendes4166]

HAVE LOVED THIS MAN'S TALENT MANY, MANY YEARS

[@astridthomas8960]

How true.

[@betsybasile-n6d]

Especially love this one, Barry. I am sure this must remind you of the start of your career. I was there and those critics were NOT NICE to you, but you showed them Barry, and they should be hiding now as ALL of them were wrong and I knew you were going to be a big star. I have watched you and how you climbed the ladder since 1974. You really did keep your point of view. Loved you all thru those years and will forever..............................Betsy Blue- Eyes

[@scottshilling4532]

My mom loved Barry Manilows music and I do as well. My mom passed away in 1977 so I listen to Barry to bring her spirit to close to my heart, I miss you mom.

[@isaisabel8086]

Tell your feelings to Barry. He will help you. My best wishes, my friend. My case is similar yours.

[@kristen3582]

My condolences.My mom's been gone for 7 years. She taught me well through Barry's songs.

[@DR-ub7ix]

Blessed to have heard this live again on Saturday night, at the London Palladium ❤

[@ckrtom2]

This was 25 years ago already! Barry carries us through the decades with his music!

[@dannyborahae5158]

This song means a lot to me, when I feel down I always listen to 3 songs that revive my spirit, I made it through the rain by Mr Manillow, Carry on by Martha Wash, and Deeper love by Aretha Franklin

[@aaronzamkoff1238]

My two I use are Barry Manilow Can’t Smile Without You and I made it through the rain

I love you Barry. God bless you for sharing your gift with us through all the rain. ❤️

[@karenpurtlebaugh5585]

YES 🥰 God bless you Barry Manilow 🌻🦋

[@tinacalderon4899]

Barry Is one of the greatest composers in the world today!

[@betsybasile-n6d]

I finally found this one after 4 months. I loved this one from the very first time I watched it. You put your whole self into this one. I often wonder if you are singing about the beginning of your career when the critics were so awful to your music, but I guess you showed them what you would be. The world's favorite entertainer. We all love you even now in 2024........Betsy Basile

[@marksimons6657]

How does Barry put so much love and emotion into songs he's sung 100s of times, just fantastic

[@BetsyBasile]

Hi Barry.......This song always makes me think I can get through what is happening in my life at my age of 76. Sometimes I cry all day and then come to my computer and pull up this video to try to get me to stop crying. Barry made it through the beginning of his career and what a career it has been...................Love,Betsy

[@AbrahamMoore-gg2mg]

We dreamers have our way of facing rainy days---- and somehow we survive....... We keep the feelings warm, protect them from the storm, until our time arrives. Then one day, the sun appears, and we come shining through those lonely years. I made it through rain, I kept world protected. I made it through the rain, kept my point of view.

[@betsybasile-n6d]

Just watching you sing this one. You are so good and this is part of YOUR story song and those dumb critics and their stinging words. They better have apologized to you because you showed them. So glad for that. I knew in 1974 you were going to be the most POPULAR entertainer in the world and I was right..Love you,Barry.....................Betsy B

[@aprilcockin5733]

My husband said to me the other day” you used to sing this song all the time when we 1st met” he said it brought back great memories 🥰

[@betsybasile-n6d]

Barry....This is part of your real story in the beginning of your career when you were broke in 1974 that you told us in a Broadway show. You not only made it through the rain , but you came out on TOP and WOW, what a career you have had and now a musical on Broadway. I am so proud of you...............................BB

[@BetsyBasile]

This song is somehow connected to the way your career started, and I think many of us start out like that. I started out cleaning peoples' houses and gradually climbed the ladder until I got my dream job, but I didn't think I would get there in the beginning, but you just have to keep pushing yourself through the disappointments. You did that Barry!! Love..Betsy

[@AbrahamMoore-gg2mg]

Hello 👋 Betsy how are you doing?

[@lindadunn3525]

[@dovdiaz]

At the beginning of this terrible pandemic, I wrote a comment hoping and praying that we all would make it safe and sound. A month ago, my mother died from covid. This next tuesday she would have been 90. I really hope that no one else here has lost a dear one. It hurts. With all, we have to make it. Thank you, Barry for giving us such beautiful, supporting and encouraging messages through your outstanding music. God bless.

[@dannyborahae5158]

My dad also passed away, and I am suffering so much. I found my strenght in God's promises, I hope with all my heart that He will help you heal and recover from that pain.

[@dovdiaz]

@@dannyborahae5158 l'm so really sorry for your loss, Danny. I understand absolutely. Thank you so very much for your words. I'm also finding my consolation and strenght in God. I know someday we will meet with our dear ones again and then it will be forever. God bless you endlessly.

I haven't seen this one for awhile. I love this song and you singing it and since I have been with you since 1974, it just reminds me what you had to go through to become a star. You had a big umbrella (Your voice, your piano and all the other talents you possess. Kept really did a great job of keeping your perspective and just kept going until " BINGO " and that of course, is Mandy and then those critics I hope choked on their words. Love you Barry.............................Betsy Basile

[@betsybasile-n6d]

How much I really missed Barry manilow' s music I love this so much❤

[@carolkurta3500]

I was a young teenager when I first heard this song. Being very quiet socially awkward and fat I got bullied mercilessly. I would go home from school tearful and go in my older sisters room and listen to this song. It made me cry but it gave me so much hope that I really could make it through the rain.

[@faaaduma]

The perfect pop singer👏😌❤️

[@clarabautista9854]

My favorite singer musician i love all music from barry manilow great 😊😊😊

[@wandaburnsworth1588]

Also this song helped me to survive a violent marriage. We divorced a long time ago. I love this song❤

[@timsullivan4687]

Saw this man in concert back in the early 80's at the (then) Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford NJ...fantastic concert and one HELLUVA showman...my Mom absolutely LOVED Barry and bought the tickets...I vividly remember when he started singing Copacabana, one of the palm trees that rose up from the stage malfunctioned and only went up halfway and he made a joke about it (it was the tree that was on his right)

[@user-cp5hg4gl6m]

I made it through the rain so many times, but lately it has been harder as I have lost 4 family members in the past 2 years.
