Solved: Can you please identify this song and artist

I had this song as a teenager. It is late 70's or early 80's. These are the lyrics as best that I can remember them. Any help to identify the song and artist would be greatly appreciated

As a child I sang rain, go away
and I tried to follow the sun.
And I stayed dry till there came one day
when my life had not to gone.
When you struck my arms like lightning
and thunder filled my brain.
And you said right throught the start with me
we'll be children of the rain.

Children of the rain
we were children of the rain

It was pooring down when I first touched you
and your body felt so warm.
It was fire and rain when we made love
you were heaven in the storm.
And you said now listen up my friend
you can let your heart be free
and if you want to be a child again
then just run and follow me.

Children of the rain
we were children of the rain

Well I stumbled, and I stampered.
Like love walked in your smile.
I can't comprehend your magic.
I can't understand your style.
but still you thought, that I could give
to you more joy than pain.
And together we ran through the storm
we were children of the rain.

Children of the rain
we were children of the rain

Now its been a while and we've had no rain
and now I have no you.
Well happiness doesn't always mean
that all your skies are blue.
But I remember cloudy days
when you washed away my pain.
And I remember your sweet stormy love
when we were children of the rain.

Children of the rain
we were children of the rain

Thanks in advance for your help
