Verse:

     D                     Am
The rain has followed me through the mist
    C      G       D
Of sorrow that surrounded me
    (D)              Am
The sun could never thaw away
      C         G      D
The bliss that lays around me

Chorus:

        D    Am         D   Am
Let it rain,    let it rain
          C         G      D
Let your love rain down on me
        D    Am         D   Am
Let it rain,    let it rain
        C     G   [1,3: D   2,4: A; to intro]
Let it rain, rain, rain

Verse 2:

My life was like a desert flower
Burning in the sun
Until I found the way to love
Was harder said than done

There is nothing that I lack
When I give my heart to you
You'll surely give it back
