I Wish It Would Rain Down
Phil Collins · Platinum Collection [2004]
But I only passed by as a friend....yeah
All this time I stayed out of sight
I started wondering why
Now I, ooh now I wish it would rain down, down on me
Ooh yes I wish it would rain, rain down on me now
Ooh yes I wish it would rain down, down on me
Ooh yes I wish it would rain on me
You said you didn't need me in your life
Oh I guess you were right..........yeah
Ooh I never meant to cause you no pain
But it looks like I did it again, yeah
Now I, now I know I wish it would rain down, down on me
Ooh yes I wish it would rain, rain down on me now
Ooh girl I wish it would rain down, down on me
Ooh yes I wish it would rain on me
Though your hurt is gone, mines hanging on, inside
And I know, well it's eating me through it's eating me through
Every night and day
I'm just waiting on your sign
'Cuz I know, I know I never meant to cause you no pain
And I realize I let you down.....ohhh yeah
But I know in my heart of hearts
I know I'm never gonna hold you again, no
Now I, now I know I wish it would rain down, down on me
Oh you know I wish it would rain, rain down on me now
Ooh yes I wish it would rain down, down on me
Yes you know I wish it would rain down, rain down over me
Just rain down over me
Just let it rain down, let it rain down, let it rain down
Ooooh yeah
Let it rain down rain down
Rain down over me
Just let it rain down, just let it rain down, let it rain down
Just let it rain
I Wish It Would Rain Down
