Can't Stop The Rain

27th of January, think he died a year ago today

She's crying on my shoulder and begging me to make the hurting go away

Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt, a heart full of pain and fear

I wanna tell her it's okay but we both know she's the reason he's not here.

I keep on crying, but it doesn't seem to help at all (seem to help at all)

With every single tear drop, it's like another raindrop falls

And I would (and I would)

If I could (if I could, but the try would be in vain

(The try would be in vain)

Said so matter what I do, I can't stop the rain.

So I cry

[Chorus]

Oh, I can't stop the rain (stop the rain) [Repeat: x2]

If I could, you know I would, but the try would be in vain.

So I cry

Oh, I can't stop the rain (stop the rain)

Faded picture in a little gold locket, and she never takes it off

I know it's small, but it's heavy 'cus it's filled with guilt

I know and she why his life is lost

I feel bad for her, but I'm having mixed emotions

Cause he was a friend of mine

Somewhere in the deepest darkest part of my mind

I wish it was her that died that night

I keep on crying, but it doesn't seem to help at all (seem to help at all)

With every single tear drop, it's like another raindrop falls (raindrop falls)

And I would [and I would], if I could (if I could)

But the try would be in vain (the try would be in vain)

Said so matter what I do, I can't stop the rain

So I cry

[Chorus]

One rainy Saturday night, a happy anniversary

Celebrating long, champagne all around

They had a little too much to drink

They got in the car, and he could barely stand up

So she figured that she'd drive.

Staring at him I suppose, a sudden jerk of the wheel,

And the car flipped about three times

I keep on crying, but it doesn't seem to help at all.

With every single tear drop, it's like another raindrop falls [raindrop falls].

And I would [and I would], if I could (if I could) but the try would be in vain.
