Rain and You

I'm leaving now, but here is a reminder..
It will bring to you the days we walked through rain..
So when you wish to feel my hand in yours..
Or stroke your dripping hair-- Then kiss the rain..


Though leaving now, I wish I could be with you...
So when you feel overwhelmed with grief or pain..
And long for my caress upon your face...
The rain will touch instead-- So kiss the rain..


Whenever you have thoughts of this sad parting..
And salty tears your lovely cheeks do stain..
To feel the tears for you I'll surely have..
Do this, and I will too-- Go kiss the rain..


Whenever you are longing for my presence..
And times that we went strolling down the lane..
I'll whisper soft endearments on the breeze..
So heed the sighing wind-- And kiss the rain..


If ever you should pine to hear me speaking..
The thunder might burst forth with glorious main..
While drops that fall are sure to be my tears..
To feel them wet your skin-- Just kiss the rain...
