Oooooh oooh ooh (2x)

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.

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) (2x)
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)

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 is 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]

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) (2x)
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)

One rainy saturday night, a happy anniversary
Celebrating long, 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]

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) (2x)
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)
