I know you loved him ... a long time ago
Even now in my arms ... you still want him I know
But darling this time ... let your memories die
When you hold me tonight ... don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes ... let it be me
Don't pretend it's him ... in some fantasy
Darling just once ... let yesterday go
You'll find more love ... than you've ever known
Just hold me tight ... when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Maybe I've been a fool ... holding on all this time
Lyin' here in your arms ... knowing he's in your mind
But I keep hoping some day ... that you'll see the light
Let it be me tonight ... don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes ... let it be me
Don't pretend it's him ... in some fantasy
Darling just once ... let yesterday go
You'll find more love ... than you've ever known
Just hold me tight ... when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Don't close your eyes ... let it be me
Don't pretend it's him ... in some fantasy
Darling just once ... let yesterday go
You'll find more love ... than you've ever known
Just hold me tight ... when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
Just hold me tight ... when you love me tonight
And don't close your eyes
I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder ... friend is it any wonder lightning strikes me
I've fought with the devil ... got down on his level
But I never gave in so he gave up on me
I'm no stranger to the rain
I can spot bad weather, and I'm good at finding shelter in a downpour
I've been sacrificed by brothers, crucified by lovers
But through it all I withstood the pain ... I'm no stranger to the rain
But when I get that foggy feeling, when I'm feeling down
If I don't keep my head up I may drown
But it's hard to keep believing, I'll even come out even
While the rain beats your hope in the ground
And tonight it's really coming down
I'm no stranger to the rain
But there'll always be tomorrow, and I'll beg, steal, or borrow a little sunshine
And I'll put this cloud behind me, that's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane ... I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh no ......... I'm no stranger to the rain
BREAK
I'm no stranger to the rain
I'm a friend of thunder ... friend is it any wonder lightning strikes me
But I'll put this cloud behind me, that's how the Man designed me
To ride the wind and dance in a hurricane ... I'm no stranger to the rain
Oh no ......... I'm no stranger to the rain
Darling I can see the clouds around you
And in your heart I know a sorrow grows
But if you weep I'll be right there to hold you
Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
Dearest love ... I know your heart is shattered
And all my words ... can offer no release
But my love ... will heal the pain you suffered
And I'll be here ... if you should turn to me
Darling I can see the clouds around you
And in your heart I know a sorrow grows
But if you weep I'll be right there to hold you
Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
In deepest nights ... when memories stand together
Lay with me ... and put your fears to sleep
Cause there's no pain ... no dream can put us under
All the love .... that binds you to me
Darling I can see the clouds around you
And in your heart I know a sorrow grows
But if you weep I'll be right there to hold you
Til each tear you cry becomes a rose
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word ... you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best ... when you say nothing at all
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near ... you drown out the crowd
Old Mr Webster could never define
What's been said between your heart and mine
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best ... when you say nothing at all
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best ... when you say nothing at all
When these lips shall never more
Place a kiss upon thy brow
When life hold's still in death
Will you love me then as now
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me when I'm gone
Perhaps you'll plant some flowers
On my cold unworthy grave
Come and sit along here beside me
Where the roses nod and wave
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me when I'm gone
Break
On a cold dark Sunday morning
In a land not far away
A little girl from old Kentucky
Lifted up her voice to say
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me (miss me when I'm gone)
Will you miss me when I'm gone
