Lyrics
IT?S NOT THE RAIN
© 2005 By Alan Falkingham and Bob Gorman
When you tell me what you?ve been thinking
Skies cloud over as my heart is sinking
We shoulda had this conversation a long time ago
So now you?re done and looks like we?re parting
Though you?ve got my single life jump-starting
You didn?t tell me anything I didn?t know
Now you?re working hard to appear carefree
You?re looking good there but you don?t fool me
IT?S NOT THE RAIN, IT?S NOT THE RAIN
THAT GLISTENS ON YOUR FACE TONIGHT
REFLECTING THE MOON?S COLD SILVER LIGHT
WE?RE NOT THE SAME, NO-ONE?S TO BLAME
SO DON?T CRY ?CUZ THERE?S NO YOU AND ME
YOUR TEARS ARE PLAIN TO SEE
AND I KNOW IT?S NOT THE RAIN
Anticipation can be the worst thing
The pressure?s on until a storm cloud?s bursting
Now aint it better since you told me how you feel
Sure it?s sad but don?t you feel guilty
We should be happy and I know we will be
Just not together, that?s the twist on our old deal
So you don?t ever have to pretend to me
Now we can talk about things honestly
IT?S NOT THE RAIN, IT?S NOT THE RAIN
THAT GLISTENS ON YOUR FACE TONIGHT
REFLECTING THE MOON?S COLD SILVER LIGHT
WE?RE NOT THE SAME, NO-ONE?S TO BLAME
SO DON?T CRY ?CUZ THERE?S NO YOU AND ME
YOUR TEARS ARE PLAIN TO SEE
AND I KNOW IT?S NOT THE RAIN
