Lyrics
It Rains In Heaven
the last time I saw her
she was all dressed in white
in a dream, she spoke to me softly
clear as day and deep as night
she said:
it rains in heaven
it rains here too
it rains in heaven
and when it does, I think of you
we used to sit out on the back porch
and watch the storms roll in
I used to love the way the change came upon us
but this is now and that was then
it rains in heaven
it rains there too
it rains in heaven
and when it does, I think of you
I think of you?
the last time I saw her
she was all bathed in light
she told me all that I needed to know
so now I know that she?s alright
and it rains in heaven
it rains from time to time
it rains in heaven
and sometimes even angels cry
sometimes even angels cry?
