RHYTHM OF THE RAIN

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain Telling me just what a fool I've been

I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain And let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone away Looking for a brand new start

But little does she know that when she left that day Along with her she took my heart

Rain please tell me know does that seem fair For her to steal my heart away when she don't care
