If The Rain Must Fall

James Morrison · James Morrison [2007]

Oh life can be strange

Good and bad in so many ways

And in time you will find

That things aren't always what they seem, no



Well I've got something to say

But you might laugh, joke or run away

'Cause I'm awkward and nervous

Sometimes I don't say much at all



But, if the rain must fall

If I lose it all

If the world comes down and takes my soul

If the sky turns black

And there's no, no way back

It won't matter much to me

If I had you, oh

And all I need is your love

It's all I need

All I need is your love, yeah



Oh well dreams can come true

If you know inside you really want them to

Oh, you can sit you can wait

You can leave your fate in someone else's hands

Oh but I, I want you

And nothing else can make me feel the way you do

So I'm waiting, I'm wishing

That it's me you'll be holding tonight, every night



And if the rain must fall

If I lose it all

If the world comes down and takes my soul

If the sky turns black

If there's no way back

It won't matter much to me

If I had you, yeah

'Cause all I need is your love, oh

All I need is your love, your love, oh

Oh



All I need is your love

Oh I, it's all I need

And nothing else, nothing else will ever do

'Cause all I need is you



If the rain must fall

If I lose it all

If the world comes down and takes my soul

If the sky turns black

If there's no, no way back

It won't matter much to me

If I had you

Oh! yeah, yeah, yeah!

'Cause I need is your love
