Raindrops Fall


I look out on the gathering storm
for the one who once stood by my side.
She looked so good when she stood there before
and I thought things were looking all right
but now she's not standing there any more
and something is clouding my eyes

and the raindrops fall, that's all,
the raindrops fall.
Raindrops fall, that's all,
the raindrops fall.

I listen close for anything near
that could sound like her voice or footsteps
but there's nothing that I can hear
like the gentle, sweet things she said.
Just one careless sound comes to my ears,
a tap tap tap that doesn't end

and the raindrops fall...

I reach out my hand trembling and wish
for the soft touch of her hand to hold.
I remember one fiery kiss
and the promises that it told
but all I can feel at my fingertips
is the sting of something so cold

and the raindrops fall...
