Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh27th of January, think he died a year ago today
She's crying on my shoulder and begging me
To make the hurting go away
Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt, a heart full of pain and fear
I wanna tell her it's okay but we both know
She's the reason he's not hereI keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all
With every single tear drop it's like another raindrop falls
And I would if I could but the try would be in vain
Said no matter what I do I can't stop the rainSo I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could you know I would but the try would be in vain
So I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rainFaded picture in a little gold locket
And she never takes it off
I know it's small, but it's heavy 'cause it's filled with guilt
I know and she's why his life is lostI feel bad for her but I'm having mixed emotions
'Cause he was a friend of mine
Somewhere in the deepest, darkest part of my mind
I wish it was her that died that night, ohI keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all
With every single tear drop it's like another raindrop falls
And I would if I could but the try would be in vain
Said no matter what I do I can't stop the rainSo I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could, you know I would but the try would be in vain
So I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rainOne rainy Saturday night, a happy anniversary
Celebrating long, champagne all around
They had a little too much to drink
They got in the car and he could barely stand up
So she figured that she'd drive
Staring at him I suppose, a sudden jerk of the wheel
And the car flipped about three times, ohI keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all
With every single tear drop it's like another raindrop falls
And I would if I could but the try would be in vain
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rainSo I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Oh I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could you know I would but the try would be in vain
Ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Oh, I can't stop the rain
