I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
Every thunder cloud that came was one more I might not get through
On the darkest day there's always light and now I see it too
But I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you

I hear it falling in the night and  filling up my mind
All the heaven's rivers come to light I see it all unwind
I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pane
When I hear it I just can't believe I never liked the rain

Like the rain, I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain, always calling for you, I'm falling for you now
Just like the rain

When the cloud is rolling over, thunder striking me
It's as bright as lightning and I wonder why I couldn't see
That it's always good and when the flood is gone we still remain
Guess I've known all along I just belong here with you falling

Like the rain, I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain, always calling for you, I'm falling for you now
Just like the rain, I have fallen for you
I'm falling for you now just like the rain

And when the night falls on our better days
And we're looking to the sky
For the winds to take us high above the plains
I know that we'll find better ways to look into the eye
Of the storms that will be calling
Forever we'll be falling

Like the rain, I have fallen for you, and I know just why you
Like the rain, always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just
Like the rain, I have fallen for you, and I know just why you
Like the rain, always calling for you, I'm falling for you now just
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
