It was raining hard in Houston when I ran in to her   I searched for conversation but I was lost for words   Then a cloud of tear-filled memories came crashing down on me   If it hadn't been for the pouring rain I'm sure she would have seen      Tears in the rain hiding the pain   Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry   She thinks I'm so strong, oh but she's so wrong   She just couldn't see these tears in the rain      Now I regret that moment 'cause I didn't let her know   How much I still loved her, I was hoping it would show   But the raindrops and teardrops ran together on my face   Now she'll never ever know no one could take her place      Tears in the rain hiding the pain   Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry   She thinks I'm so strong, oh but she's so wrong   She just couldn't see these tears in the rain      She thinks I'm so strong, oh but she's so wrong   She just couldn't see these tears in the rain
