I Can't Stand the Rain

 

I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
Hey windowpane, do you remember?
How sweet it used to be

When we was together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's just one sound that I just can't stand

I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
'Cause she's not here with me

Alone with the pillow
Where her head used to lay
I know you've got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say

I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Just keeps on haunting me
Hey rain, get off my window
Because she's not here my me
