"Rainy Night and Memories"

(Wayland Holyfield / Jim Rushing)

It’s hard to hide a lingering disappointment
But most of the time I wear it well
Bur there are times when I just can’t help remembering
The night you left, that rainy night when my whole future fell.

Rainy nights and memories go together
And with every drop of rain I feel the pain
I can almost hear my pleading,
On the night you were leaving
But I might have well have tried to stop the rain.

The blowing wind that moans outside my window
Seems to echo the closing of a door
For it was then I first realized I had heard your last goodbye
And my whole world went crumbling to the floor.

Rainy nights and memories go together
And with every drop of rain I feel the pain
I can almost hear my pleading,
On the night you were leaving
But I might have well have tried to stop the rain..
