When It Rains
Each day as I get older
My memory starts to fade
I softly touch your pillow
On the bed where you once laid
I gently trace your photograph
You dressed as my bride
They're in my mind but hard to find
Memories that try to hide
But when it rains I see you
You're as real as you can be
Like the time we stood and watched it rain
Beneath that willow tree
We stood out there for hours
As the rain came pouring down
Me in my rented tux
And you in your evening gown
The rain somehow clears my mind
And it seems like yesterday
You told me that you had to leave
And I was begging you to stay
It's been twenty years since you've been gone
And only a piece of you remains
But in my mind, you're here with me
Everytime it rains
