Lyrics

  1. Into ev’ry life a little rain must fall
    So the poets say
    Oh! and how it’s raining on me now
    And just when I need you near me most of all
    You are far away
    I keep calling for you in vain
    All alone in the rain

Chorus
When the skies were clear
I could always find you near
Now I’m alone in the rain
When they turned to gray
Like a bird you flew away
Left me alone in the rain
Let it pitter patter, it doesn’t matter
It only grieves me so, to know
My stormy weather pal
Was a fair weather gal
Who left me alone in the rain

  1. When the rain is over and the skies of gray
    Turn to brightest blue
    Maybe then you’ll come to me again
    Tho I’ve often said that I would turn away
    And be cold to you
    I’m afraid, spite of all you’ve done
    To your arms I would run
