I Saw the Wind Blow Down Several Trees

台中市中山國中 林秀香

Rhythm of rainListen to the rhythm of the falling rain

Telling me just what a fool I've beenI wish that it would go and let me cry in vainAnd let me be alone again

The only girl I care about has gone awayLooking for a brand new startBut little does she know that when she left that dayAlong with her she took my heartRain please tell me now does that seem fairFor her to steal my heart away when she don't careI can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away

The only girl I care about has gone awayLooking for a brand new startBut little does she know that when she left that dayAlong with her she took my heart

Rain won't you tell her that I love her soPlease ask the sun to set her heart aglowRain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rainTelling me just what a fool I've been

I wish that it would go and let me cry in vainAnd let me be alone again

Oh, listen to the falling rainPitter pater, pitter pater

Oh, oh, oh, listen to the falling rainPitter pater, pitter pater
