In loving memory

Im a softy, and right now (since there is no litter), I am listening to a heartbreaking song called "Gee I'm glad it's raining". It was written by Jim Varney. You might have known him as "Ernest P. Worell" on many commercials and movies years ago, or "Slinky" the dog on Toy Story. He died not too terribly long ago from smoking. He was and is my hero. My friend. And so, in his loving memory, I am going to let you hear his heartbreaking son.

In loving memory, Jim Varney.





Gee, I'm Glad It's Raining
by Jim Varney


Gee I'm glad it's raining
There's always something to be thankful for.
I'm awfully glad it's raining
Cause no one sees the tear drops when it pours.


And no one knows the thunder
As your heart breaks in the sky,
And they think those rainy nights
Cause that sad look in your eye.


Sure am glad it's raining.
The gentle river soothes the pain inside.
I'm glad the stars aren't shining.
This wounded warrior needs a place to hide.


I thought I had found someone
I could count til the end.
What they wanted was a hero,
All I needed was a friend


Gee I'm glad it's raining.
I hope the morning sun won't come up soon.
As long as it keeps raining,
No one knows my heart broke right in two.


I thought I had found someone
I could count til the end.
What they wanted was a hero,
All I needed was a friend

Sure am glad it's raining.
I'm awfully glad it's raining







In loving memory, Jim Varney

Gage,.you just left and I am sitting here watching the video you posted. Very sad.
I want you to know how very proud of you I am. I love you more than words could ever express. And I miss you even more.
Dad

Omg, I'm reading Jim Varney's song to some instrumental music I have on- and Jim's words are really touching...

This is a Very beautiful tribute to this man- thanks for sharing this and God Bless Jim Varney's soul forever

lol. My dad must have gotten on my profile. Aww.. thanks dad!

The song is sad. I was so upset when Jim Varney died. i have had this song in my head for so long. I love it. I guess you know him, Boldylocks?

Wow, it's so sad when people die from smoking. And I like the song too. A good song when a tragic event happened.

No, I don't, but the poem posted was really beautiful-- I had some instrumental music CD playing at the time I was reading this thread, and it made the poem even more touching!

I think the video stores in PA have the ernest movies. I think you'd like it Boldy/
