"The Rain" lyrics

(Whoa whoa oh, mm)
(Mm, whoa whoa oh)

Twenty-seventh of January, I think he died a year ago today
She's crying on my shoulder and begging me to make the hurting go away
Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt
A heart full of pain and fear
I want to tell her it's okay but we both know she's the reason he's not here

(Mm)
I keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all
(Seem to help at all)
With every single tear drop, it's like another rain drop falls
And I would (and I would) if I could (if I could)
But the try would be in vain (the try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain

So I cry (Ooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain (Ooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could, ya know I would, but the try would be in vain
So I cry ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

Faded picture in a little gold locket
But she never takes it off
I know it's small but it's heavy
'Cause it's filled with the guilt of knowing she's why his life is lost
I feel bad for her but I'm having mixed emotions
'Cause he was a friend of mine
And somewhere in the deepest, darkest part of my mind
I wish it was her that died that night

(Mm)
I keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all
(Seem to help at all)
With every single tear drop, it's like another rain drop falls
And I would (and I would) if I could (if I could)
But the try would be in vain (the try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain

So I cry (Ooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain (Ooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could, ya know I would but the try would be in vain
So I cry ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

One rainy Saturday night, a happy anniversary
Celebrating love, champagne all around
They had a little too much to drink
Got in the car, and he can barely stand up
So she thinketh that she drive
Staring at him not the road, sudden jerk of the wheel
And the car flipped about three times

(Mm)
I keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all
(Seem to help at all)
With every single tear drop, it's like another rain drop falls
And I would (and I would) if I could (if I could)
But the try would be in vain (the try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain

So I cry (Ooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain (Ooh)
I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Said if I could, ya know I would, but the try would be in vain
So I cry ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
