LYRICS

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain

Telling me just what a fool I've been

I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain

And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away

Looking for a brand new start

But little does she know that when she left that day

Along with her she took my heart

Rain, please tell me, now, does that seem fair

For her to steal my heart away when she don't care?

I can't love another when my heart's somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone away

Looking for a brand new start

But little does she know that when she left that day

Along with her she took my heart

Rain, won't you tell her that I love her so?

Please, ask the sun to set her heart aglow

Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain

Telling me just what a fool I've been

I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain

And let me be alone again

Oh, listen to the falling rain

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter

Oh, listen, listen to the falling rain

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
