"Before the rain came"

“Before the rain came..”

Wonder what you would say, if we met just yesterday?
Before the rain came, we could find a way…
Roses are red, violets blue..
We were young and love was new..
Before the rain came, black & white turned gray..
Before the rain came, I had some things to say..

Look in the mirror for someone to blame,
We don’t need more pain or shame..
Judge us wrong or right, you know it’s true.
Dark clouds rising in the sky, tears fall gently from our eyes..
Friends that care and share are rare and few…
Baby you had me  and I had you…
I got too close to the flame…
then the rain came…

I felt so blessed today, I knew that we should’ve sailed away..
Before the rain came, now hope’s become dismay..
I could’ve traveled ‘round the world, I could’ve had me another girl..
Before the rain came, now I’ve lost my way..
Before the rain came, I had some things to say..

As the rain came falling down..
And the rain came falling down..
Yea the rain came falling down, down, down…
While the rain came falling down…
