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!
