It's Raining - Allen Toussaint

It’s raining so hard

Looks like it’s going

To rain all night

And this is the time

I’d love to be

Holding you tight

I guess I’ll have

To accept the fact

That you are not here

I wish tonight

Would hurry up and end

My dear

It’s raining so hard

It’s really coming down

Sittin' by my window

Watchin' the rain

Fall to the ground

This is the time

I’d love to be

Holding you tight

I guess I’ll just go

Crazy tonight

It’s raining so hard

Brings back memories

Of the times

When you were

Here with me

Counting every drop

About to blow my top

I wish this rain

Would hurry up

And stop

I’ve got the blues

So bad

I could hardly

Catch my breath

The harder it rains

The worst it get

This is the time

I’d love to be

Holding you tight

I guess

I’ll just go

Crazy tonight

It’s raining so hard

Brings back memories

Of the times

When you were

Here with me

This is the time

I’d love to be

Holding you tight

I guess

I’ll just go

Crazy tonight
