If I Could Be The Rain

Some[F]times I wonder how the si[C]mple rain can weep,
Or wh[D7]y the winds a lonely child that cr[G7]ies itself to sleep
Ive [C]envied all the sunlight, the a[F]mber of its smile,
An[C]d wished it could be bo[G7]rrowed for a w[FC]hile

If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea;
If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me;
If I could be the sunlight, and all the days were mine,
I would find some special place to shine.

But all the rain I'll ever be is locked up in my eyes,
When I hear the wind it only whispers sad goodbyes.
If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again;
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain.

If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea;
If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me;
If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again;
Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain.
