There's a place I like to go back to; time seemed to stand still,
We ran wild, we had no cares; take me back to the place,
I wish there were a door I could walk right through to escape this life.
I want to go back to what we had, times were better then.

I miss the rain, I miss the rain,
My heart's been dry, like the tear in my eye,
I've been hurting for you again,
I miss the rain, I miss the rain,
My heart's been dry, like the tear in my eye, and the pain that I feel,
Lord, I miss the rain.

It keeps me young when I remember, in my mind the past still lives,
I've held on to every thought, it keeps me so alive,
The future holds nothing for me if I can't hold you,
I used to try and change the world; now I'd change a little for myself.

I miss the rain, I miss the rain,
My heart's been dry, like the tear in my eye,
I've been hurting for you again,
I miss the rain, I miss the rain,
My heart's been dry, like the tear in my eye, and the pain that I feel.

I miss the rain, (oh)
I miss the rain, (how I miss the rain)
I miss the rain, (falling down)
I miss the rain.

I know there are those who are far sadder than I,
They lost things they cannot replace, like the beauty in their eyes,
But through it all one thing is constant, and remains - the love of God erases all my pain.

I miss the rain, I miss the rain,
My heart's been dry, like the tear in my eye.
