Waiting for the Rain Songtext
von Philip Bailey

Was a sunny day in late July
When you said goodbye
Like your heart was frozen
No trace of tears, your eyes were dry
Been wondering why
Your heart was cold and oh

Standing here waiting for the clouds to cover your heart
And though your skies are blue
Still my heart is true
Waiting for a change in the weather with you

I′ve been waiting for the rain to come down
I've been waiting for your heart to come around
But only in a cloudless sky
Tell me why should I try in vain
Girl, I′m out here waiting for the rain


Dead of midnight, alone in the dark
With a broken heart
And the memories of you
How could you leave me in this mystery?
Why can't you see
We should be together? Oh

Standing here waiting for the clouds to cover your heart
And though your skies are blue
Still my heart is true
Waiting for a change in the weather with you

I've been waiting for the rain to come down
I′ve been waiting for your heart to come around
But only in a cloudless sky
Tell me why should I try

No more pretending
If love′s really ending
All alone it was meant to be
And I thought you believed
It was you for me

Time is still time
Just give me a sign
If what we had was true
Why am I so confused?
Tell me the truth
Are you missing me too?


I've been waiting for the rain to come down
I′ve been waiting for your heart to come around
But only in a cloudless sky
Tell me why should I try in vain
Girl, I'm out here waiting for the rain

Waiting for the rain
Girl, I′m waiting for the rain
La-la-la-la
Girl
I've been waiting for the rain to come down
I′ve been waiting for your heart to come around
But only in a cloudless sky
Tell me why should I try
