Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
But day after day I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
'Cause so badly, I wanna go outside
'Cause everybody knows
That a man ain’t supposed to cry
Listen, I gotta cry
'Cause cryin', it eases the pain, oh, yeah
People, this hurt I feel inside
Words could never explain
How I wish it would rain
How I wish that it would rain
(Rain, rain, yeah)
How I wish that it would rain
(Rain)
Day in day out my tears they fade
Pressed against the window pane
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide the teardrops
And no one will ever know that I’m cryin' when I go outside
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
How I wish it would rain
How I wish that it would rain
(Rain)
How I wish that it would rain
(Make me cry now)
Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My girl has found another and gone away
With her went my future my life is filled with gloom
But day after day I stay locked up in my room
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
How I wish that it would rain
(Rain, rain)
How I wish that it would rain
(Rain)
How I wish that it would rain
How I wish that it would rain…
I LOVE the Temptations... David Ruffin, geez, how do you say perfect... This version by Gladys Knight is out of the park, out of this world... off the charts! Goes to show, great artistry is timeless.
