Bob Lind Remember The Rain written by Bob Lind
E
Angel that you are
G#m
You still remember summer walks
F#m B E
And quiet talks we had before our clouds were broken
E
In the heaven of your mind
G#m
Your hopeful heart has put behind
F#m B E
All the ugly jealous times our hearts were aching
Am E
Now that your pain has been mended
Am E
You're only seeing one side
Am E
Behind the bright easy laughter
Am E
Rivers of tears have been cried
E F#m
So remember the rain
B7 E
When you think of the sunshine
A
You've got to try and see
G#m
That's it's gone for you and me
F#m B7 E
And there is no way to bring it back again
E G#m
In a sad unstable way I love you more than I can say
F#m B E
But it's locked in yesterday and must remain there
E
The gentle prisoner in the stall
G#m
Sometimes forgets the very walls
F#m B E
That gave her shelter in the fall have also chained her
Am E
Drink from the spring of tomorrow
Am E
Yesterday's well has gone dry
Am E
All the good times are behind us
Am E
Whenever you ask yourself why
F#m B7 E
Just remember the rain when you think of the sunshine
A G#m
On the ocean of a smile we floated easy for awhile
F#m B7 E
But now we're drifted to the shore where beauty dies
E
It isn't easy to explain
G#m
I never dreamed you felt the same
F#m B E
And even though you're not to blame we can't continue
E G#m
Don't let yourself pretend that we've got something to defend
F#m B E
You've got to try to face the end with all that's in you
Am E
I can't deny that I love you
Am E
But my soul can no longer be bound
Am E
Fly on the wings of your freedom
Am E
But whenever you look to the ground
F#m B7 E
Just remember the rain when you think of the sunshine
A G#m
Try to understand that it's fallen from our hands
F#m B7 E
And just be thankful that your soul is still your own
