Yesterday I Heard The Rain
Tony Bennett · All-Time Hall Of Fame Hits [1997]
Yesterday I heard the rain whispering your name
Asking where you'd gone
It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds
As I wandered on
Out of doorways
Black umbrellas came to pursue me
Faceless people as they passed were looking through me
No one knew me
Yesterday I shut my eyes
Face-up to the skies, drinking in the rain
But your image still was there floating in the air
Brighter than a flame
Yesterday I saw a city
Full of shadows, without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name
Yesterday I saw a city
Full of shadows, without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name
Asking where you'd gone
It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds
As I wandered on
Out of doorways
Black umbrellas came to pursue me
Faceless people as they passed were looking through me
No one knew me
Yesterday I shut my eyes
Face-up to the skies, drinking in the rain
But your image still was there floating in the air
Brighter than a flame
Yesterday I saw a city
Full of shadows, without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name
Yesterday I saw a city
Full of shadows, without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name
