Just yesterday you slipped away from me
Without so much as one word of goodbye
You packed the sunshine in your big old suitcase
Now only the rain fills the sky
You were mine, yeah
But suddenly it's changed
Wish that I
Could find a way to stop the rain (stop the rain)
Wish that I could stop the rain (stop the rain)
Now you see, I thought that everything
Was going fine
But I was blind
As blind as a man could be
I took for granted
What you tried hard to give
And now the rain
Is all that I can see
You were mine
But that was yesterday
Wish that I
Could find a way to stop the rain (stop the rain)
Wish that I could stop the rain falling from up high
Now listen
Now tell me please
Do you understand
What this feeling is all about?
'Cause when you left me
You took away my heart
Squeezed the sunshine out
But in time
This heart of mine will heal
The sun will shine
And I can find a way to stop the rain
(I can find a way to stop the rain)
Stop the rain falling down
Sometimes what's good turns to bad
What has been so happy, seems so sad
Melancholy, baby (stop the rain)
Comes over me
'Cause I know I was wrong all along, yeah
'Cause I just check in, feeling sorry for myself (stop the rain)
Pull my heart out from the shelf
And watch it fall to pieces, oh yeah
No sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
'Cause I am sitting in this misery forever
That's not the way to think about it, baby
Gotta look on the bright side soon
Maybe the sun will shine again
Maybe the sun will shine again for me
Or just do what comes naturally
I can't stand the rain
I can't stand the rain
No, I can't stand the rain
