Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And the rain beats on my roof
And it does not ask for proof
[Verse 2]
It's not that lovers are unkind
She always said there'd come a time
When one would leave and one stayed behind
[Verse 3]
We both knew people sometimes change
And lovers sometimes rearrange
In that nothing's quite as sure as change
And the rain beats on my roof
[Verse 4]
Look through my window
(Oh, ah, yeah)
To the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, someplace to go
And I know I should let go
[Verse 5]
She always said, "I'm not like you
When love is dead, for me it's through"
(And I will find) And love someone new (And love someone new)
(And I will love somebody new)
[Verse 6]
Look through my window, yeah
To the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, someplace to go
And I know I should let go
[Verse 7]
I must admit, she knew her mind
And it will not take her long to find
Another place where the sun will shine
(Another place where the sun will shine)
(Another sun will shine, sun will shine)
[Verse 8]
And the rain beats on my roof
If I still require proof
Well, the rain beats on my roof
(She's gone) If I still require proof
(She's gone) Well, the rain beats on my roof
(Look through my window) If I still require proof
