I feel it It's coming Rain Feel it on my finger tips, hear it on my window pane Your love's coming down like Rain Wash away my sorrow, take away my pain Your love's coming down like Rain When your lips are burning mine And you take the time to tell me how you feel When you listen to my words And I know you've heard, I know it's real Rain is what this thunder brings For the first time I can hear my heart sing Call me a fool but I know I'm not I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top Till I feel your Rain Feel it on my finger tips, hear it on my window pane Your love's coming down like Rain Wash away my sorrow, take away my pain Your love's coming down like Rain When you looked into my eyes, and you said goodbye Could you see my tears When I turned the other way Did you hear me say I'd wait for all the dark clouds bursting in a perfect sky You promised me when you said goodbye That you'd return when the storm was done And now I'll wait for the light, I'll wait for the sun Till I feel your Rain Feel it on my finger tips, hear it on my window pane Your love's coming down like Rain Wash away my sorrow, take away my pain Your love's coming down like Rain Here comes the sun...here comes the sun And I say...never go away Waiting is the hardest thing I tell myself that if I believe in you In the dream of you With all my heart and all my soul That by sheer force of will I will raise you from the ground And without a sound you'll appear And surrender to me To love Rain is what the thunder brings For the first time I can hear my heart sing Call me a fool but I know I'm not I'm gonna stand out here on the mountain top Till I feel your Rain I feel it It's coming Your love's coming down like Rain I'll stand out on the mountain top Until I hear you call My name Rain
