Sometimes we're friends Sometimes we're strangers And though there are tears There's always love It hurts when you cry From words thrown in anger Warm feelings run deep But that's not enough It takes a little rain To make love grow It's the heartache and the pain That makes the real heart show Where the sun always shines There's a desert below It takes a little rain To make love grow Hearts disagree Then they grow closer Honesty wins When it's someone you trust Forever takes time True love is never over It's filled with new starts Just look at us It takes a little rain To make love grow It's the heartache and the pain That makes the real heart show Where the sun always shines There's a desert below It takes a little rain To make love grow
