I can hear you outside a knockin' lonely rain   Beatin' out your rhythm on my window pane   Since she's gone the melody's a sad refrain   And all the seasons never change      Lonely rain you sure make it hard to smile   Won't you go and let the sun shine a while   'Cause it's bad enough she's gone without you hanging on   Whispering her name lonely rain      Once we ran and laughed in your summer showers   She brushed you from the petals of the lover's flower   And hidden safe from you we used to dream for hours   Shelter my love's magic power      Lonely rain you sure make it hard to smile   Won't you go and let the sun shine a while   'Cause it's bad enough she's gone without you hanging on   Whispering her name lonely rain      Lonely rain you sure make it hard to smile   Won't you go and let the sun shine a while   'Cause it's bad enough she's gone without you hanging on   Whispering her name lonely rain
