I can stand up once again on my own

Talk to the girl with the rain in her eyes
Talk to the sun, ask it to shine
Talk to the rain as it falls from high
Talk to the man with the reasons why
One late rainy night I got a phone call

And I said we should just be friends
So I went back to see her again
And it rang louder than the hailstones
And she said this should be the end
Rain on me, rain, rain / I'd rather be dry...

But I know the sun'll shine
But at least I look fine
But at least I'm alive
But I know it's time
Let the rain fall down...
