As recorded by BEA WAIN:

Blue Rain
Falling down on my window pane
But when you return there'll be a rainbow
After the blue, blue rain

And there's a blue star
Looking down asking where you are
But when you return there'll be a sunbeam
Hiding the blue, blue star

Skies will be much brighter than they were before
When you and love come strolling through the door
Then there'll be no more

Blue rain
Just the sound of my heart's refrain
Singing like a million little blue birds
After the blue, blue rain

Clouds cover up my horizon
With blackness as dark as night
Skies haven't cleared
Since you disappeared from sight

Ev'rything I lay my eyes on
Reminds me that you're away
Here in my room
It's always a gloomy grey day

(Orchestral Interlude)

And there's a blue star
Looking down asking where you are
But when you return there'll be a sunbeam
Hiding the blue, blue star

Skies will be much brighter than they were before
When you and love come strolling through the door
Then there'll be no more

Blue rain
Just the sound of my heart's refrain
Singing like a million little blue birds
After the blue, blue rain
Blue rain, blue rain, blue
