As recorded by MICKEY NEWBURY:

Well, here comes the rain, baby 
It's goodbye again, baby
For awhile you were mine
But the sun can't always shine
Here comes the rain, baby

Here comes the rain, baby
For a while it was fun
While we walked in the sun
But here comes the rain, baby

Oh, I tried to keep the rain from falling 
You know I tried to keep the rain from falling 
It's not the rain in the skies 
But the rain in your eyes, baby

As recorded by ROY ORBISON:

Here comes the rain, baby 
Guess it's goodbye again, baby 
For awhile it was fun
We could walk in the sun 
But you never could stand the rain, could you, baby

See the rain in my eyes, baby 
I never could stand goodbyes, baby 
For awhile you were mine 
But the sun can't always shine 
And you never could stand the rain could you, baby

(Instrumental Break - Whistling)

For awhile you were mine 
But the sun can't always shine 
And you never could stand the rain could you baby. 

I tried to keep the rain from falling 
You know I tried to keep the rain from falling 
It's not the rain in the skies 
But the rain in my eyes 
That won't ever stop falling, baby.

(Whistling)
