[Verse 1]
Well, I met her last September, and these days I call her mine
She’s my summer windswept Juliet, my autumn valentine
Yeah, we sit out on a Sunday to enjoy the sweet sunshine
And she says, "Baby, how I wish it could be like this all the time"
[Chorus]
It's gonna take a little rain
To let the grass beneath us grow
It's gonna take a little rain
Before the flowers start to show
Sure, we’d all want it our way
But there’s some things that we don’t know
Just trust that on the way to beautiful
It's gonna take a little rain
[Verse 2]
Well, we parted on a Sunday, much too gloomy for its name
And the visions of forever faded into yesterday
And I grow tired thinking ‘bout starting over
And all I can help but say
Is “Good lord why does it always have to be this way?”
[Chorus]
It's gonna take a little rain
To let the grass beneath us grow
It's gonna take a little rain
Before the flowers start to show
Sure, we’d all want it our way
But there’s some things that we don’t know
Just trust that on the way to beautiful
It's gonna take a little rain
[Bridge]
'Cause the dark storms will come to bring you dark days
The rivers will rise and what they want they will take
But that storm will pass and you will remain
Save the tears in your eyes, love, leave that to the rain
The dark storms will come to bring you dark days
The rivers will rise and what they want they will take
But that storm will pass and you will remain
Save the tears in your eyes, love, leave that to the rain
And when that storm passes, take you by the hand
Let you know I’ll be forever your man
And you’ll know this love was never in vain
Save the tears in your eyes, love
[Chorus]
It's gonna take a little rain
To let the grass beneath us grow
It's gonna take a little rain
Before the flowers start to show
Sure, we’d all want it our way
But there’s some things that we don’t know
Just trust that on the way to beautiful
It's gonna take a little rain
