chorus   It was raining in California   The day that I met you the angels were crying down   Once in a lifetime the moment I prayed for   I never thought would come   How can I let you go, now that I love you so   Let the tears fall like rain in California      Why - give me a reason why   Tell me where I went wrong   I'm watching the hours crawl by   I'm learning to be alone   Now that you've gone away so many words to say   (I still feel so much inside)   But this time I know why      chorus      Let it rain, let it rain   Forever and a day   Till I see you again   Let it rain   I'm feelin' my heart grow cold   Now I'm without you   All of the dreams I hold   Are only about you   So - what if our stars are crossed   Who hasn't loved and lost   (But I'm not the first to cry)   But this time I know why      chorus
