I was sitting on the edge of his bed   Staring at the headlines on the paper   He said, 'Look at poor Gene Kelly   I guess he won't be singing in the rain.'   You can take away my heroes   Can you take away my pain      Take away my pain   Leave the cold outside   Please don't let it rain   Don't stumble on my pride   Take away my pain   I'm not frightened anymore   Just stay with me tonight   I'm tired of this fight   Soon I'll be knocking at your door      She was standing by the edge of his bed   Staring at the message on their faces   He said, 'What else can you do, babe?   I guess I won't be coming home again.'   They just took away all my promises   Make them take away my pain      Take away my pain   Leave the cold outside   Please don't let it rain   Don't stumble on my pride   Take away my pain   I'm not frightened anymore   Just stay with me tonight   I'm tired of this fight   Soon I'll be knocking at your door      His final scene   The actor bows   And all those years   Are gone somehow   The crowd applauds   The curtain falls      I was standing by the edge of the water   I noticed my reflection in the waves   Then I saw you looking back at me   And I knew that for a moment   You were calling out my name   You took away my hero   Will you take away my pain      Take away my pain   Let the cold inside   It's time to let it rain   There's nothing left to hide   Take away my pain   I'm not frightened anymore   I'm learning to survive   Without you in my life   Til you come knocking at my door...
