If Only It Would Rain
© 2007 by Joe Strell
Not that we have time
To unfold
Every letter
Written in this hand
Trembling and cold
To read the words
As they glide from the pen
So tightly held
If only it would rain
If only it would rain
Rain upon me
Let the water fall down
Down
On the page
On this day
Hoping you would have to say
All that I forgot
Today
To remember
--To remember--
What good does it do?
To Remember
If I stay
In love with you
And you are too
Far away
To touch again
To love and then
Dissolve
Happy is the rain to fall
The rain that falls just once
And then it's gone
Down a gutter
On a lonely avenue
If only it would rain
If only it would rain
Rain upon me
If only it would rain
Rain upon me
If only it would rain
Rain upon me
If only it would rain
Rain upon me
