[Intro x2]
Oooooh oooh ooh
27th of January
Think he died a year ago today
She's crying on my shoulder
And begging me to make the hurting go away
Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt
A heart full of pain and fear
I wanna tell her it's okay
But we both know she's the reason he's not here
[Chorus]
I keep on crying
But it doesn't seem to help at all (seem to help at all)
With every single tear drop, it's like another raindrop falls
And I would (and I would) if I could (if I could)
But the try would be in vain (the try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do, I can't stop the rain
So I cry
Oooooooh, I can't stop the rain (stop the rain)
Oooooooh, I can't stop the rain (stop the rain)
If I could, you know I would but the try would be in vain
So I cry
Oooooooh, I can't stop the rain (stop the rain)
[Verse 2]
Faded picture in a little gold locket
And she never takes it off
I know it's small but it's heavy 'cus it's filled with guilt
I know and she's why his life is lost
I feel bad for her but I'm having mixed emotions
Cus he was a friend of mine
Somewhere in the deepest darkest part of my mind
I wish it was her that died that night, Ooooh
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
One rainy saturday night, a happy anniversary
Celebrating love, champagne all around
They had a little too much to drink
They got in the car, and he could barely stand up
So she figured that she'd drive
Staring at him I suppose, a sudden jerk of the wheel
And the car flipped about three times, Oooooooh
[Chorus]
