*Was it not raining
Just minutes ago?
I could swear my eyes
Were dripping with tears
But I didn't want you to know
You were always at your best
Under a cloudy sky
I won't let my weakness show
But it's time to say goodbye
There's rain in my eyes again
Oh, how could I stoop so low
I put the flowers on my cheeks
Instead of on the ground with you
Maybe with my tears they'll grow
And I'll keep them, as I let you go*

*Was it not raining
Just minutes ago?
I could swear my eyes
Were dripping with tears
But I didn't want you to know
You were always at your best
Under a cloudy sky
I won't let my weakness show
But it's time to say goodbye
There's rain in my eyes again
Oh, how could I stoop so low
I put the flowers on my cheeks
Instead of on the ground with you
Maybe with my tears they'll grow
And I'll keep them, as I let you go*
