If I Could Be The Rain(I think this is one of Utah's best songs..v.g.)
Bruce (Utah) Phillips
Starlight on the Rails Album Book
Banjo tuned E, capo3, Key F
Rosalie Sorrels sings it in A (Borderline Heart Album)
[AEF#B7EAEB7A]
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.
