i can see the pain inside of you,
with every step you take;
you're quitting things you used to do,
but hold on, for my sake.

because after the rain,
when the sun starts to shine
you'll forget all the pain
and your heart can be mine
'cause i love you too much
to let you say goodbye
and your hand i will clutch,
with a tear in my eye...
after the rain.

i can tell that you're hurting,
with each word that you speak
all this pain you're exerting,
is making you bleak.

but after the rain,
when the clouds move aside
you will finally be sane,
and i'll be your bride
'cause as much as you need me,
i need you here too;
you couldn't begin to belive,
all the things we could do...
after the rain.

I can tell your mind's failing,
as well as your heart,
but grip the cold railing,
and we'll get a fresh start.

And after the rain,
when the world becomes new
we'll be popping champagne
under a sky that's bright blue
'cause after the water's dry,
we'll never be the same;
we will prevail, you and I...
after the rain.
