I Don't Mind the Rain

I don't mind the rain, I never did Been staring out of windows since I was a kid It seems to understand that there's suffering and pain I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind the rain You ask me if I mean it you say come on Wouldn't you prefer it was sunny all day long? But a world without tears would surely be insane No, I don't mind, I don't mind I don't mind the rain I don't mind it, darling, it's bittersweet When I'm weary from the struggle, coming back from defeat Let the tires splash, let the complainers complain Me I don't mind, I don't mind I don't mind the rain Let it cool me down let it heal the town Let it bow the branches closer to the ground Let it feed the flowers let it pass the hours Let it ease my mind with that familiar sound I don't mind it now, now you're so far away I gave it everything I had in Mudville that day Now the stands are empty and only my thoughts remain And I don't mind, I don't mind I don't mind the rain Let the river rise let the early bird get its prize Let the wind sweep the harbor until the dinghies capsize Let the umbrellas fumble let the thunder rumble When the master's voice commands the skies I don't care if it pours in May or September Sometimes I dream sometimes I remember There's only so much one heart can contain So I don't mind, I don't mind I don't mind the rain
