I wish I could forget the better times She's up there, dancin' with a friend of mine I bet they're doin' all the things that we've never done I bet they're wonderin' where the cryin's comin' from
Chorus: Here in the pourin' rain Heaven must be sad Ain't it a cryin' shame When somethin' pretty turns bad You call your baby's name You're wantin' somethin' that you just can't have You spend your nights callin' your baby's name Here in the pourin' rain
My hands shake, my heart breaks, everytime they shut the lights I can't see what's killin' me but it's an ugly sight I can't hear the whispered words between each kiss The same words she spoke to me You know the ones that I miss
Chorus....
You end up sleeping with the past When there's nothing else you have to throw your arms around When somethin' real just walks away You hit your knees and pray that it's the dream that counts Cause in the dream she wears a long white dress She wears my ring on a chain of gold We share the kiss that the preacher blessed She stays around until my dream grows old
If I could find the mand inside of me Lord I'd set things straight If she was half the friend she used to be Now, but it's too late With a little luck This pourin' rain's bound to disappear with a little luck Tomorrow night it'll be him out here
