Sunshine, blue skies, please go away,
My girl has found another and gone away
With her went my future, my life is filled with gloom,
And so day after day, I stay locked up in my room

I know to you well it might sound strange,
But I wish it would rain, yeah I wish that it would rain

Oh so badly I wanna go outside
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
So listen, I got to cry, cause crying eases the pain
And deep is this hurt I feel inside,
Well my words just can't explain,
I wish it would rain, how I wish that it would rain

I wish it would rain, rain, rain
I wish it would rain, rain, rain
I wish it would rain, rain, rain
I wish it would rain, rain, rain

Day in, day out, my tear-stained face is pressed against a window pane
I search the sky desperately for rain
Cause raindrops can hide my teardrops and no one will ever know
That I'm crying (crying) crying better go back home

To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain,
Why I wish it would rain, how I wish it would rain
Let it rain

I wish it would rain, rain, rain
Oh, I wish it would rain, rain, rain
I wish it would rain, rain, rain
How I wish it would rain, rain, rain
I wish it would rain, rain, rain, rain
Feel the rain now

I wish it would rain, rain, rain, rain
I wish it would rain, rain, rain, rain
How I wish it would rain, rain, rain, rain
I wish it would rain, rain, rain, rain
Wash all over me
I wish it would rain, rain, rain, rain
