Couldve Done Without the Rain

I love you
Etched in stone
One final goodbye glimpse 
Into his soul

Through the years
They both lived lies
Each without the other
Never satisfied

He knew that she would come
To see him at his grave
She’ll always be his sunshine
But they could’ve done without the rain

They could’ve done without the distance
They kept in life
Could’ve done without the lonely
Bitter sleepless nights

If there ever was a love
That had to quell its flame
She was standing right before it
Right there in the rain

Sometimes the truth
Stands before our eyes
Our souls know what’s right
But we still stay blind

As she turned to walk away
She softly spoke his name
You know I’ve always loved you
We could’ve done without the rain 

We could’ve done without the distance
We kept in life
You could’ve held me all those lonely
Bitter sleepless nights

If there ever was a love
That had to quell its flame
It’s standing right before you
Amongst the teardrops and the pain

As she walked away she reminisced of the old days
How since they met their two lives were changed
You can bet that I won’t let these, precious memories fade
You were the one I loved and always wanted
I could have done without the rain 

In every storm of life there’ll be a light....
We could’ve done with the rain
