The Rain

With suitcase in hand she turned to walk away
She turned back around and gave me one last kiss
She said that she was sorry  for leaving me this way
But that our lives came together  from a coin and a  wish
Oh! every word she said  just added to the pain
As my eyes blurred up from the rain

As I stood there all alone my memories took over
I recall the day I through the coin into the wishing well
And our first kiss  the day she called me lover
I remember picking her up  the day that she fell
I never thought she'd hurt me or cause me any pain
Then my eyes blurred up from the rain

I set there on the front porch tried counting every raindrop
Oh! It's so hard counting  something that never wants to end
And looking back It seems this hurt will never stop
Seems some things get lost  just around the bend
I'll never forget her smile as she walked down the lane
Oh! now my eyes are blurry  from the rain

Tonight I saw her dancing  with another man again
She smiled and said hello as I turned and walked away
I wanted to say I love you  but she faded into the rain
Now all I have are memories painting my blue skies gray
But tonight when I looked to the sky  gone was all the pain
Then  I rubbed my eyes and down came the rain
