For better or worse, it's been seven long years

You've been true to those words baby

How they ring in my eyes

So I reach for the sky

Just to catch you a star

But this cloud on our trail

Always finds us wherever we are

Why does it rain?

Why does it rain?

Why does it fall on you and me?

I built you a house baby with my own loving hands

A home for a lifetime

Now it belongs to the bank

Are my prayers all lost

On this cold winter breeze?

If a God's truly out there

Does he know I'm still down on my knees?

Why does it rain?

Why does it rain?

Why does it fall on you and me?

How can a man live

With his thoughts for too long

If he can't keep his woman safe and warm

But you're hope still burns

And your love is sincere

Will tomorrow make up for all the faith

You've shown through these years?

Why does it rain?

Why does it rain?

Why does it fall on you and me?
