About Rain

"I Made It Through the Rain" is a song that became a hit after it was recorded by American singer Barry Manilow, also included on his 1980 album, Barry. The song was originally recorded by its co-writer Gerard Kenny who composed it with Drey Shepperd about a struggling musician who never gives up. Manilow heard the song and revised the lyric with Jack Feldman and Bruce Sussman to make the song about the everyday person's struggles, rather than those of a profession. In the U. S. , Manilow's version peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 4 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Kenny's original version was included on his 1979 RCA Records album called Made It Through The Rain, which reached the top 20 of the UK Albums Chart and remains on his set-list at concerts as of 2016.

Grey clouds rollin' over my head
I can see a storm in the sky
All night long you're tossin' in bed
All night long I'm outa my head it's

Rain, fallin' down from the sky
Kissin' my love goodbye
Rain fallin down
I can't take the rain
Washin' my love away
I'm cryin' for yesterday
Rain fallin' down

Grey clouds rollin' over my head
I can see a storm in the sky
Don't know where this lovin' has led
Why can't there be sun instead of rain

Fallin' down from the sky
Kissin' my love goodbye
Rain fallin down
I can't take the rain
Washin' my love away
I'm cryin' for yesterday
Rain fallin' down

Darlin' you got to stop the rain
Only you can stop the rain (Fallin' down)
Only you can do it
Darlin' you got to stop the rain 
Only you can stop the rain (Fallin' down)
Only you can stop this (Rain)

Everything is fallin' apart  
And I don't think I can stand the rain anymore
No, no more, no more rain
No more rain
Stop the rain, stop the rain from fallin' down
I got to stop the rain from fallin' down
I do I mean babe
What we had was good
All I know we could have made it

I can't take those rain
fallin' down from the sky
Kissin' my love goodbye
Rain fallin down
Someone stop the rain
Washin' my love away
I'm cryin' for yesterday 
Rain fallin' down

Mama you got to stop the rain
Only you can stop the rain (Fallin' down)
Only you can do it
Darlin' you got to stop the rain
Only you can stop the rain (Fallin' down)
Only you can stop this rain
Baby you got to stop the rain
Only you can stop the rain (Fallin' down)
Only you can help me
