I don't want to hold you down,
Especially when you look so sweet and fine.
I'd rather wash my hands right here
Than be the thing you settle for in your life.
I will have solace having known you, babe,
But you will have everything you dream about, I have no doubt.
The sun will light your name,
But I don't want to be the rain.
What I'm getting's very clear,
But you don't have the strength to say goodbye.
I'd rather face your love's not there
Than pretend not to see you strain to try.
I will have your smile with me everyday,
But you will have everything you dream about, I have no doubt.
The sun will light your name,
But I don't want to be the rain.
No, no, no, no, I don't want to be the rain. No, no.
I don't want to be the rain on your parade. No, no.
I don't want to be the tears you cry when your day would otherwise be made.
I don't want to see the sun go down; I'd rather walk away.
'Cause I don't want to be the rain.
No, no, no.
I don't want to be the rain.
I will have solace having known you, babe.
But you will have everything you dream about, I have no doubt.
The sun will light your name,
But I don't want to be the rain.
No, no, no, no, no, I don't want to be the rain.
No, no, no, no, I don't want to be the rain.
