There you were in the bar room
Dancin' with a stranger
Whirlin' and laughin' cross the floor
There I was on my loneliest days
Breakin' into pieces,
Hadn't seen your face since '64

Who's that woman by your side?
I stood there wonderin',
Singin' all the songs that reminded me of you
I finally made you look my way
And when you turned those blue eyes on,
It hurt me so bad I thought I'd die

So I'm waitin' for the rain
After seein' you again
Thought I could handle most anything but it did me in
Lord, I'm waitin' for the rain that's blowin'
Waitin' for the pain that's growin'
And the memories I can't forget

I remember lyin' by your side
Rushin' like a schoolgirl
As you dropped my robe apon the floor
I could've had you forever,
But I got lost in the footlights, Honey
Why'd you have to come here for?

So I'm waitin' for the rain
After seein' you again
Thought I could handle most anything but it did me in
Lord, I'm waitin' for the rain that's blowin'
Waitin' for the pain that's growin'
And the memories I can't forget

Introduced me to your wife,
Showed me pictures of your kids
I felt the tears come glisten to my eyes
I excused myself and said how good it's been
Hey, maybe we'll get together again
As I fell apart and said goodbye

So I'm waitin' for the rain
After seein' you again
Thought I could handle most anything but it did me in
Lord, I'm waitin' for the rain that's blowin'
Waitin' for the pain that's growin'
And the memories I can't forget

Now I'm waitin' for the rain
After seein' you again
Thought I could handle most anything but it did me in
