Well the time has passed now it seems

When I sleep I never dream, I, I wonder why

I've got the chance, had confidence

When I was a young man, now I, I didn't cry

Those sunny days never pass you by

California and the good, good life, I loved it so

But like you too I get the blues

And now I say now, now, now

Me, me and the rain, yeah we know



Bring on the rain, bring on the rain, bring on the rain

I love the rain, I, I love now, I love the rain



The cloudy skies can bring you back

Your mind can wander off the track, you head for home

The streets are empty everywhere

That I not, and no one cares, now you're all alone

They might take this, they might take that

Still it doesn't change the fact that you get by

Self-pity is the thing that I avoid now

'Cause you see it makes, makes everybody, everybody cry



Now I say bring on the rain, bring on the rain, bring on the rain

I need the rain, I, I love now, I love the rain

Those sunny skies all look the same

Man I'm looking for a change, I, I want some rain now

Ooh, bring on the rain, bring on the rain, bring on the rain



Well now rain can give you some sort of peace of mind

A passing storm always takes its time

Gives the world peace and solitude now

It's something that we all look forward to



Bring on the rain, bring on the rain, bring on the rain

I love the rain, I, I need, I need, I need, I need, I need the rain now

Well them summer days about to look the same

Man I'm looking for a change, how about some rain, Diane?

Ooh, bring on the rain, bring on the rain now, bring on the rain



Bring on the rain, bring on the rain, bring on the rain

How about the change? I need, I need, I need, I love, I love the rain



Bring on the rain, bring on the rain, bring on the rain

Bring on the rain, I need, I need, I need, I love, I love the rain



"You're special sweet, just it makes you good." Ooh, ooh...
