Lyrics

I was dancing in heaven
You were keeping time
Then I read your letter
Sent shivers down my spine
Said our love was over
And I was not the one
If it lasts forever
Forever wouldn't be much fun
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me?
I could hear the sound of laughter
I thought that love as in the air
I was drowning in that golden age
You really seemed to care
I'm haunted by a dream
Of giant human beings
I wait alone for hours
Love is never what it seems
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh-oh-oh
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me?
You always had fantastic plans
That I always knew
Now you want to leave me out
So it's raining just for you
Those changes that you wanted
Make you 10 feet tall
I tried to move those mountains
But mountains never move at all
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh-oh-oh
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh-oh-oh
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh-oh-oh
Who can stop the rain?
Who can stop the rain from falling?
Who can stop this pain
That's drowning me? Oh-oh-oh
