Lyrics

Yonder Blue

[Verse 1]

The color of the sun is nearly lost in the horizon

As the night comes in

But it shines again tomorrow

And I know I'm gonna find you

Cause it's the day I'm gonna find you

Oh, I'll fill the ocean with tears until I find you

Until I find you

Oh, I'll be in an ocean of tears

If I don't find you

If I don't find you

[Chorus]

If I could only make it rain

If I could only make it rain

If I could only make it rain

If I could only make it rain

[Verse 2]

It seems the stars are shining

They're always out there hovering around the moon

Oh that illusive moon its faintly blue

But it will glow again tomorrow

When I find you

[Chorus]

If I could only make it rain

If I could only make it rain

If I could only make it rain

If I could only make it rain
