Kiss the Rain

I'm leaving now, but here is a reminder 'Twill bring to you the days we walked through rain So when you wish to feel my hand in yours Or stroke your dripping hair-- Then kiss the rain Though leaving now, I wish I could be with you So when you feel o'erwhelmed with grief or pain And long for my caress upon your face, The rain will touch instead-- So kiss the rain Whenever you have tho'ts of this sad parting And salty tears your lovely cheeks do stain To feel the tears for you I'll surely have Do this, and I will too-- Go kiss the rain Whenever you are longing for my presence And times that we went strolling down the lane I'll whisper soft endearments on the breeze So heed the sighing wind-- And kiss the rain If ever you should pine to hear me speaking The thunder might burst forth with glorious main* While drops that fall are sure to be my tears, To feel them wet your skin-- Just kiss the rain * Power or Force
