I Wish It Would Rain

Oh, how I wish that it would rain

Oh, how I wish that it would rain

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away

My baby done found another, Lord, she's gone away

With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom

Day after day, I stay locked up in my room

I know to you, it might sound strange

But I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, so bad, Lord, I wanna go outside

But everybody knows that a man ain't supposed to cry

But listen, I gotta cry, 'cause crying eases my pain, oh, Lord

People, this hurt I feel inside, words could never explain

So I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, Lord, let it rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Day in, day out, my tear-stained face

Pressed against the window pane

My eyes search the sky desperately for rain

'Cause raindrops'll hide my teardrops

And no one will ever know that I'm crying (Crying) when I go outside

To the world outside, my tears I refuse to explain

So I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Oh, Lord, please let it rain

(Let it, let it, let it rain) Let it rain

(Let it, let it, let it rain) Won't you let it rain?

(Let it rain) Let it rain

(Let it, let it, let it rain) Let it rain

(Let it rain) Let it rain, rain, rain, oh, Lord

(Let it rain) Let it rain

(Let it, let it, let it rain)
