Don't Rain

Don't rain Don't rain Don't rain on my parade, please not today Day after day It's all the same For you it's easy For you acclaim I don't want the praise No accolades I just want the respect I yearn and crave Just give me this chance One time to show That I'm not the failure You've come to know I need your blessing And I need it now Cause I'm not so sure I can do without Don't rain Don't rain Don't rain on my parade, please not today I don't understand Why it's so hard I can't comprehend Your disregard Is it detestation? Or apathy? Whatever it is, oh Is pain to me Don't rain Don't rain Don't rain on my parade, please not today Don't rain Don't rain Don't rain on my parade, please not today Now, I see your lies That hide all the reasons why Jealousy, and envy, insecurity Oh why do you go and take that out on me Cause you only hurt me in the end That's why I need you not to rain No not today On my parade No not today On my parade Don't rain Don't rain Don't rain on my parade, please
