Average White Band Lyrics
"Stop The Rain"

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
