Rain and tears are the same But in the sun you've got to play the game When you cry In winter time You can pretend It's nothing but the rain How many times I've seen Tears coming from your blue eyes Rain and tears, are the same But in the sun You've got to play the game Give me an answer, love (oh) I need an answer, love (oh) Rain and tears in the sun But in your heart You feel the rainbow waves Rain and tears Both I shun For in my heart there 'll never be a sun Rain and tears, are the same But in the sun You've got to play the game Game
