(Terry Cashman & Tommy West)
Can't get her out of my mind, I see her face wherever I go
She didn't say it but I know she doesn't love me
I thought that I was king, she didn't want to play my game
If I had the sun to give her in the morning
[Chorus:]
She'd rather have the rain
Than anything I could give her
I'd give her anything that you care to name
She'd rather have the rain
Today I had to realize that every dream just can't come true
I know there's nothing I can do to make her want me
I could take the sun from heaven, tie it to a silver chain
Bring it so it shines upon her through the morning
[Chorus]
When you need somebody, you want to give her everything
But it hurts when she doesn't hear the song that you sing
[Chorus 2x]
Rather have the rain, rather have the rain, rather have the rain
