I Wish It Would Rain lyrics

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away

The girl has found another and gone away

With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom

So day after day I stay locked up in my room

I know to you, it might sound strange

But I wish it would rain, because so badly I want to go outside

But everyone knows, that a man ain't supposed to cry

Listen, I got to cry because crying eases the pain

Oh yeah, people, this hurt I feel inside, words could never explain

I just wish it would rain

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

(I just wish it would rain)

Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain

Day in day out my tear-stained face

Pressed against the windowpane

My eyes search the skies desperately for rain

Because raindrops will hide my teardrops

And no one will ever know that I'm crying

Crying when I go outside

To the world outside my tears

I refuse to explain

Oh I wish it would rain, let it rain, let it rain

I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes

Oh, let it rain

I'm a man and I got my pride

'Til it rains I'm going to stay inside and let it rain
