Stop the Rain

Now, yeah

Just yesterday you slipped away from me

Without so much as one word of good bye

You packed the sunshine in your big old suitcase

Now only the rain fills the sky

You were mine, yeah

Suddenly it's changed

Wish that I

Could find a way to stop the rain (To stop the rain)

Wish that I could stop the rain

(Stop the rain)

Now you see, I thought that everything was goin' fine

But I was blind, as blind as a man could be

I took for granted what you tried hard to give

And now the rain is all that I can see

You were mine but that was yesterday

Wish that I could find a way to stop the rain (To stop the rain)

Wish that I could stop the rain

Fallin' from my eyes (Stop the rain)

Now listen

Now tell me please

Do you understand?

What this feeling is all about, yeah

'Cause when you left me you took away my heart

Squeezed the sunshine out

But in time

This heart of mine will heal

The sun will shine

And I can find a way to stop the rain (I can find a way to stop the rain)

Stop the rain fallin' now

Sometimes what's good turns bad

What has been so happy, seems so sad

Melancholy feeling (Stop the rain) comes over me

'Cause I know I was wrong all along, yeah

'Cause I just sit here, I'm feelin' sorry for myself

(Stop the rain) Put my heart up on the shelf

And watch it fall to pieces

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Guess I'll ever sit here in this misery forever

That's not the way to think about it, baby

Got to look on the bright side

Make the sun shine again

Make the sun shine again for me

Just do what comes naturally

I can't stand the rain

No, I can't, I can't stand the rain

No, I can't stand the rain
