Can't Stop the Rain

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

27th of January, think he died a year ago, today

She's cryin' on my shoulder and beggin' me to make the hurtin' go away

Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt, a heart full of pain and fear

I wanna tell her it's okay, but, we both know she's the reason he's not here

I keep on crying, but, it doesn't seem to help at all

(Seem to help at all)

With every single teardrop, it's like another raindrop 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-ooh

I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

If I could, you know I would, but, the try would be in vain

So I cry, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

Faded picture in a little gold locket

And, she never takes it off

I know it's small, but, it's heavy 'cause it's filled with guilt

I know and she's why his life is lost

I feel bad for her, but, I'm havin' mixed emotions

'Cause he was a friend of mine

Somewhere in the deepest, darkest part of my mind

I wish it was her that died that night, oh-oh

I keep on crying, but, it doesn't seem to help at all

(Seem to help at all)

With every single teardrop, it's like another raindrop falls

(Raindrop 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, said I can't stop the rain

So I cry, ooh-ooh

I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

If I could, you know I would, but, the try would be in vain

So I cry, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

One rainy Saturday night, a happy anniversary

Celebratin' love, champagne all around

They had a little too much to drink

They got in the car, and he could barely stand up

So, she figured that she'd drive

Starin' at him, I suppose, a sudden jerk of the wheel

And, the car flipped about three times, oh-oh-oh

I keep on crying, but, it doesn't seem to help at all

(Seem to help at all)

With every single teardrop, it's like another raindrop falls

Raindrop 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

What I do

I can't stop the rain

So I cry, ooh-ooh-ooh

I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

Oh, I cry, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

Stop the rain

If I could, you know I would, but, the try would be in vain

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

Oh, I can't stop the rain
