Really love the rain against my window

Bringing back sweet memories

I feel a pain when I remember

How sweet it used to be

 

When we were together

Everything was so grand, yeah

Now that we parted, if there's one shout

I gotta shout, I gotta say

 

I really love the rain against my window

But you're never here with me

I feel a pain when I remember

How sweet it used to be

 

Remember those pillows

Where our heads used to live, yeah

No weak and some are sweet memories

If there's one shout, I gotta shout

I gotta say, I really love the rain

 

Really love the rain, rain

Love the, love the rain

Love the rain, love the rain

I love the rain, yeah, love the rain

 

Really love the rain against my window

You never here with me, yeah

I feel a pain when I remember

How sweet it used to be

 

I love the rain, love the rain

Love the rain, love the rain

Love the rain, love the rain, love the rain

Love the rain, love the rain

 

Really love the rain, love the rain

Love the rain, love the rain, love the rain

Love the rain, love the rain

Really love the rain, love the rain, Lord

Really love the rain, love the rain.
