If I Could Be The Rain
Sometimes I wonder how the simple rain can weep,
Or why the wind’s a lonely child that cries it-self to sleep.
I’ve en-vied all the sun-light, the amber of its smile,
And wished it could be borrowed for a while.
If I could be the rain, I’d wash down to the sea;
If I could be the wind, there’d be no more of me;
If I could be the sunlight, and all the days were mine,
I would find some special place to shine.
But all the rain I’ll ever be is locked up in my eyes.
When I hear the wind it only whispers sad goodbyes.
If I could hide the way I feel I’d never sing again;
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain.
If I could be the rain, I’d wash down to the sea;
If I could be the wind, there’d be no more of me;
If I could hide the way I feel I’d never sing again;
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain.
