The Rain On the Ground Are the Tears From Heaven In the Skies

Mother don't you cry now Daddy has gone to the sweet by and by And I Sweet music I do hear from the angels, so dear I can hear them singing, singing And mother doesn't ask why father has a tear in his eyes Mama why does he cry, it must be raining outside The rain on the ground is the tears, is the tears from heaven from the skies The rain on the ground is the tears, is the tears from heaven from the skies For I too have a tear in my eye, my eyes It must be rain outside for my clothes are trenched why The rain on the ground is the tears, from the angels crying, crying we ask why The rain on the ground is the tears, from the angels crying, crying about mankind And when the dearly departed are sadden After the sadness comes the pain after the clouds empty it rain I can see it all so clear; The rain on the ground is the tears, is the tears from heaven from the skies The rain on the ground is the tears, is the tears from heaven from the skies For I too have a tear in my eye, my eyes It must be rain outside for my clothes are trenched why The rain on the ground is the tears, from the angels crying, crying we ask why The rain on the ground is the tears, from the angels crying, crying about mankind 07/11/09 Written by James Edward Lee Sr.
