Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

27th of January, think he died a year ago today
She's crying on my shoulder and begging me
To make the hurting go away
Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt, a heart full of pain and fear
I wanna tell her it's okay but we both know
She's the reason he's not here

I keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all
With every single tear drop it's like another raindrop falls
And I would if I could but the try would be in vain
Said no matter what I do I can't stop the rain

So I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could you know I would but the try would be in vain
So I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

Faded picture in a little gold locket
And she never takes it off
I know it's small, but it's heavy 'cause it's filled with guilt
I know and she's why his life is lost

I feel bad for her but I'm having mixed emotions
'Cause he was a friend of mine
Somewhere in the deepest, darkest part of my mind
I wish it was her that died that night, oh

I keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all
With every single tear drop it's like another raindrop falls
And I would if I could but the try would be in vain
Said no matter what I do I can't stop the rain

So I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could, you know I would but the try would be in vain
So I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain

One rainy Saturday night, a happy anniversary
Celebrating long, champagne all around
They had a little too much to drink
They got in the car and he could barely stand up
So she figured that she'd drive
Staring at him I suppose, a sudden jerk of the wheel
And the car flipped about three times, oh

I keep on crying but it doesn't seem to help at all
With every single tear drop it's like another raindrop falls
And I would if I could but the try would be in vain
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain

So I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Oh I cry, ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
If I could you know I would but the try would be in vain
Ooh, I can't stop the rain, stop the rain
Oh, I can't stop the rain
