Sunshine blue skies please go away The girl has found another and gone away. With her went my future my life is filled with gloom So 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 But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain, Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside. Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain.
Day in day out my tear-stained face Pressed against the window pain, My eyes search the skies desperately for rain, Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops And no one will ever know that I'm crying, Crying when I go outside. To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain, let it rain, let it rain. I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes. Oh, let it rain. I'm a man and I got my pride Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain.
Night and day, you are the one Only you beneath the moon or under the sun Whether near to me, or far It's no matter darling where you are I think of you Night and day
Day and night, why is it so That this longing for you follows wherever I go In the roaring traffic's boom In the silence of my lonely room I think of you Night and day
Night and day Under the hide of me There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me And this torment won't be through Until you let me spend my life making love to you Day and night, night and day
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun Whether near to me, or far It's no matter darling where you are I think of you Night and day
Night and day Under the hide of me There's an oh such a hungry yearning burning inside of me And this torment won't be through Until you let me spend my life making love to you Day and night, night and day

Tell me, (Tell me,) Tell me.

Ooo Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by. I say to myself, you're such a lucky guy. To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true. Out of all the fellas in the world, she belongs to me.
But it was just my 'magination, running away with me. It was just my 'magination, running away with me.
(Soon) Soon we'll be married and raise a family. (Oh, yeah) A cozy little home out in the country with two children, maybe three. I tell you, I can visualize it all. This couldn't be a dream, for too real it all seems.
But it was just my 'magination, once again. Running away with me. Tell you it was just my 'magination, Running away with me.
Paul: Every night on my knees I pray.
Dear Lord, hear my plea. Don't ever let another take her love from me. Or I will surely die. Hmm

Money I ain't got none, job can't find one The streets raised me from a baby, ooh Thousands of lives wasting away People living from day to day It's a challenge just staying alive 'Cause in the ghetto only the strong survive
