Raining In My Heart
Don McLean · Other Songs - Don McLean
Thee's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's raining
Raining in my heart
The weatherman says fine today
He doesn't know that you've gone away
And it's raining
Raining, raining in my heart
Oh, oh mistery, misery
What's gonna become of me
I tell myself, the blues won't show
But pretty soon all these tears will flow
Raining, raining in my heart
Oh, oh misery, oh misery
Oh, what's gonna become of me
The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud around to spoil the view
But it's raining, raining in my heart
