Sunshine, blue skies, 
Please go away.
My girl has found another,
And gone away.
D
With her went my future.
My life is filled with gloom.
A
So day after day,
I stay locked up in my room.
          E
I know to you,
               D
It might sound strange.
                    A
But I wish it would rain.

'Cause so badly,
I want to go outside.
But everyone knows,
That a man ain't supposed to cry.
Listen. 
I gotta cry.
'Cause cryin,
Eases the pain. Ah yeah.
People, this hurt I feel inside,
Words could never explain.
I just wish it would rain.

<<Instrumental.  Same as verse.>>

Day in day out my tear stained face,
Pressed against the window pane.
My eyes search the skies,
Desp'rately for rain.
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops.
And no one will ever know,
That I'm cryin', cryin',
When I go outside.
To the world outside, my tears,
I refuse to explain.
How I wish it would rain.

Let it rain
Let it rain
I need rain
Let it rain
