There I was on this fine December day
Three long years ago
The sun was out, the sky was blue.
I was with her,
Sitting by her side.
The love of my life just lying there,
Lying in a hospital bed.
Looking out there was not a cloud in the sky.
As I sat as she sucked her last breath,
That is when it started raining
Raining in my heart.
My lover had moved on
Moved on into that wonderful sky,
And beyond.
Then came the day,
The day a new love came,
Came into my heart,
And the tears stopped.
My new lady took me,
Took me to a wonderful place,
A place full of love and laughter.
She too had lost her lover,
Lost him many years ago
And now we have a new life,
Not just the two of us
But our memories of those times,
Those times long ago,
When we were in love before.
They will be there for us,
Always be there for us,
Just waiting for us.
And on that day the tears will stop,
And it will no longer be
Raining in our hearts.
