Every time it rains I think of you,
And that's the time I feel so blue!
When the rain starts a-fallin',
My love comes tumblin' down,
And it's rainin' teardrops from my eyes!

Well, if you could see clouds here in my eyes,
It's just because you said goodbye;
Although the sun is shining,
There's no more Summer skies,
And it's rainin' teardrops from my eyes!

Remember the night you told me
Our love would always be;
I wouldn't be blue and lonely
If you'd come back to me!

Every single cloud would disappear,
I'd wear a smile if you were here!
So baby, won't you hurry,
'Cause I miss you so,
And it's rainin' teardrops from my eyes!

Remember the night you told me
Our love would always be;
I wouldn't be blue and lonely
If you'd come back to me!

Every single cloud would disappear,
I'd wear a smile if you were here!
So baby, won't you hurry,
'Cause I miss you so,
And it's rainin' teardrops from my eyes!

Oh baby, won't you hurry,
'Cause I miss you so,
And it's rainin',
How it's pourin',
Teardrops, teardrops in my eyes!
