Here Comes the Rain

Just when I'm happy
And things go right
And I can count on
The moon and stars
Each night
Fate steps in
To mock me again...
Here comes the rain!

I found my love
(Or so I thought)
He lavished me
With the Jewels he bought
He promised he would 
Always be true
And we’d begin 
Our lives anew

Just when I’m happy 
And things go right
And I count on the
Moon and stars each night
Fate steps in to mock me again
Here comes the rain!

I bought the gown
The flowers too
He said “go splurge
Nothing’s too good for you”
We set the date..my friends all came
I never suspected his little game
He said he had to go on a business trip
As he gently kissed my quivering lips

"I’ll see you next week
I’ll be at the church
I’d never leave you 
In a lurch
You can count on me
I’ll surely be there”
Promises spoken
To the empty air!

I waited and waited
All dressed in white
The church filled with flowers
A beautiful sight 
Just when I thought
I’d left my cares behind
He sent me a text saying
He’d changed his mind!

Just when I’m happy 
And things go right
And I count on the
Moon and stars each night
Fate steps in to mock me again
Here comes the rain!

But when the rain falls
The flowers bloom
And spring returns 
To banish the gloom
And life renews itself again
I can’t wait to see what lies ahead
When comes the rain!
