If I Could Be The Rain

    F                        C
Sometimes I wonder how the simple rain can weep,
     D7                                G7
Or why the winds a lonely child that cries itself to sleep 
    C                             F
Ive envied all the sunlight, the amber of its smile,
  C                      G7            FC
And wished it could be borrowed for a while


If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea;
If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me;
If I could be the sunlight, and all the days were mine,
I would find some special place to shine.

But all the rain I'll ever be is locked up in my eyes, When I hear the wind it only whispers sad goodbyes. If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again; Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain. If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea; If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me; If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again; Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain.
