 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.
