Can’t Stop the Rain

[Intro]

Mmm, whoa, whoa, oh-oh

Mmm, whoa, whoa, oh-oh

[Verse 1]

27th of January

I think he died a year ago today

She's crying on my shoulder

And begging me to make the hurting go away

Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt

A heart full of pain and fear

I wanna tell her it’s okay

But we both know she's the reason he's not here

[Chorus]

Mmm, I keep on crying

But it doesn’t seem to help at all (Seem to help at all)

With every single teardrop, it's like another raindrop falls

And I would (And I would) if I could (If I could)

But the try would be in vain (The try would be in vain)

Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain

So I cry

Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

If I could, you know I would, but the try would be in vain

So I cry

Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

[Verse 2]

Faded picture in a little gold locket

And she never takes it off

I know it's small, but it's heavy ’cause it’s filled with guilt

I know and she's why his life is lost

I feel bad for her, but I’m having mixed emotions

'Cause he was a friend of mine

Somewhere in the deepest darkest part of my mind

I wish it was her that died that night, mmm

[Chorus]

I keep on crying

But it doesn't seem to help at all (Seem to help at all)

With every single teardrop, it's like another raindrop falls

And I would (And I would) if I could (If I could)

But the try would be in vain (The try would be in vain)

Said no matter what I do, I can’t stop the rain

So I cry

Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

If I could, you know I would, but the try would be in vain

So I cry

Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

[Bridge]

One rainy Saturday night, a happy anniversary

Celebrating love, champagne all around

They had a little too much to drink

They got in the car, and he could barely stand up

So she figured that she'd drive

Staring at him, I suppose, a sudden jerk of the wheel

And the car flipped about three times, mmm

[Chorus]

I keep on crying

But it doesn't seem to help at all (Seem to help at all)

With every single teardrop, it's like another raindrop falls

And I would (And I would) if I could (If I could)

But the try would be in vain (The try would be in vain)

Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain

So I cry

Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

If I could, you know I would, but the try would be in vain

So I cry

Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
