Stop The Rain

Average White Band


Just yesterday you slipped 
away from me 
without so much 
as one word of good-bye 
You packed the sunshine 
in your big old suitcase 
Now only the rain fills the sky 
You were mine 
but suddenly it's changed 
Wish that I... could find a way 
to stop the rain 
I thought that everything 
was going fine 
But I was blind 
blind as a man could be 
I took for granted 
what you tried hard to give 
And now the rain 
is all I can see 
You were mine 
but that was yesterday 
Wish that I... could find a way 
to stop the rain 
Now tell me please 
do you understand 
what this feeling 
is all about 
'Cos when you left me 
you took my heart  
squeezed the sunshine out 
But in time 
this heart of mine will heal 
the Sun will shine 
and I can find a way to stop the rain
