I don't know where I crossed the line Was it something that I said Or didn't say this time And I don't know if it's me or you But I can see the skies are changing In all the shades of blue And I don't know which way it's gonna go If it's gonna be a rainy day There's nothing we can do to make it change We can pray for sunny weather But that won't stop the rain Feeling like you got no place to run I can be your shelter 'til it's done We can make this last forever So please don't stop the rain (Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall) Please don't stop the rain (Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall) Please don't stop the rain I thought that time was on our side I've put in far too many years To let this pass us by You see life is a crazy thing There'll be good time and there'll be bad times And everything in between And I don't know which way it's gonna go If it's gonna be a rainy day There's nothing we can do to make it change We can pray for sunny weather But that won't stop the rain Feeling like you got no place to run I can be your shelter 'til it's done We can make this last forever So please don't stop the rain (Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall) Please don't stop the rain (Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall) Please don't stop the rain Oh, we're a little closer now And finally what life's it's all about Yeah I know you just can't stand it When things don't grow your way But we've got no control over what happens anyway If it's gonna be a rainy day There's nothing we can do to make it change We can pray for sunny weather But that won't stop the rain Feeling like you got no place to run I can be your shelter 'til it's done We can make this last forever So please don't stop the rain (Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall) Please don't stop the rain (Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall) Please don't stop the rain (Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall) Can't stop it, can't stop it, just can't stop the rain (Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall) Let it fall, please don't stop the rain
