I was your hero, strong and fearless in your eyes You were softer than the summer sky Young lovers we were so unwise But time is a teacher and this time I've hurt you so Left you crying but don't you let go There's so much the years have left to show Don't count the rainy days They blow hard and then they're gone Don't throw our love away, away, away In the dark before the dawn You've got to hold on To all the dreams we've made Remember those beautiful nights And don't count the rainy days You know I'm a dreamer; I get lost inside a world of my own And sometimes I'm made of stone But I never meant to leave you alone So I want to tell you, I know at times I didn't try When you needed me I'd run and hide Oh, but now I'm standing by your side Don't count the rainy days They blow hard and then they're gone Don't throw our love away, away, away In the dark before the dawn You've got to hold on To all the dreams we've made Remember those beautiful nights And don't count the rainy days Remember those beautiful nights And don't count the rainy days Don't count the rainy days They blow hard and then they're gone Don't throw our love away, away, away In the dark before the dawn You've got to hold on To all the dreams we've made
