Remember The Rain

Angel that you are You still remember summer walks And quiet talks we had before our clouds were broken In the heaven of your mind Your hopeful heart has put behind All the ugly jealous times our hearts were aching Now that your pain has been mended You're only seeing one side Behind the bright easy laughter Rivers of tears have been cried So remember the rain When you think of the sunshine You've got to try and see That's it's gone for you and me And there is no way to bring it back again In a sad unstable way I love you more than I can say But it's locked in yesterday and must remain there The gentle prisoner in the stall Sometimes forgets the very walls That gave her shelter in the fall have also chained her Drink from the spring of tomorrow Yesterday's well has gone dry All the good times are behind us Whenever you ask yourself why Just remember the rain when you think of the sunshine On the ocean of a smile we floated easy for awhile But now we're drifted to the shore where beauty dies It isn't easy to explain I never dreamed you felt the same And even though you're not to blame we can't continue Don't let yourself pretend that we've got something to defend You've got to try to face the end with all that's in you I can't deny that I love you But my soul can no longer be bound Fly on the wings of your freedom But whenever you look to the ground Just remember the rain when you think of the sunshine Try to understand that it's fallen from our hands And just be thankful that your soul is still your own From Bob Lind "Photographs Of Feeling" World Pacific Records 1966 From Bob Lind "Best of Bob Lind You Might Have Heard My Footsteps" EMI Records 1993
