If I Could Be the Rain

If I Could Be The Rain(I think this is one of Utah's best songs..v.g.) Bruce (Utah) Phillips Starlight on the Rails Album Book Banjo tuned E, capo3, Key F Rosalie Sorrels sings it in A (Borderline Heart Album) AEF#B7EAEB7A If I Could Be The Rain F C Sometimes I wonder how the simple rain can weep, D7 G7 Or why the winds a lonely child that cries itself to sleep C F Ive envied all the sunlight, the amber of its smile, C G7 FC And wished it could be borrowed for a while If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea; If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me; If I could be the sunlight, and all the days were mine, I would find some special place to shine. But all the rain I'll ever be is locked up in my eyes, When I hear the wind it only whispers sad goodbyes. If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again; Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain. If I could be the rain, I'd wash down to the sea; If I could be the wind, there'd be no more of me; If I could hide the way I feel I'd never sing again; Sometimes I wish that I could be the rain.
