Lyrics:

It was rainin' hard in Houston
When I ran into her
I searched for conversation
But I was lost for words
Then a cloud of tear-filled memories
Came crashin' down on me
If it hadn't been for the pourin' rain
I'm sure she would have seen...

CHORUS:

Tears in the rain
Pattin' 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'll regret that moment
Cuz I didn't let her know
How much I still loved her
I was hopin' it would show
But the raindrops and the teardrops
Ran together on my face
Now she'll never, ever know
No one could ever take her place

(Repeat chorus)

she thinks I'm so strong
Oh, but she's so wrong
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain
