I Wish It Would Rain - Gladys Knight & The Pips

Oooh, sunshine, blue skies

Please go away

My love has found another

And gone away

With him went my future

My life is filled with gloom

So day after day

I stay locked up in my room

I know to you

It might sound strange

But I wish it would rain

(How I wish that it would rain)

Let it rain, rain, rain, rain

So badly, so badly

I want to go outside

(Such a lovely day)

But I can't stop these tears

From fallin' from my eyes

Listen, I gotta cry

'Cause cryin' eases the pain

Oh, yes it does

Oh, yes it does

Oh, yes it does

People, this hurt I feel inside

Words could never explain

I wish it would rain

(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Let it rain, rain, rain, rain

(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)

Let it rain, rain, rain, rain

Ohhhh, and rain, rain

Let it rain

Day in, day out

My tear stained face

Pressed against the window pane

My eyes search the skies

Desperately for rain

'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops

And no one will ever know

That I'm cryin', cryin', cryin'

When I go outside

To the world outside

My tears, I refuse to explain

I wish it would rain.

(Oh how I wish that it would rain)

Let it rain, let it rain.

Ohhhh

I'm a girl and I got my pride

Till it rains, I'm gonna stay inside

Let it rain, let it rain

I wanna say it one more time

I'm a girl and I got my pride

Till it rains, I'm gonna stay inside

Let it rain, let it rain

Ohh ohh ohhh, let it rain, let it rain
