[Verse]
Once my days were perfect
So warm and so bright
With you here by my side
It all just seemed so right
[Verse]
But something was brewing
The clouds began to form
Everything was silent
The calm before the storm
[Verse]
One day you up and left
And said I was to blame
You left me in the dark
Just standing in the rain
[Chorus]
It’s been raining in paradise
Since the day you said goodbye
The sunshine has gone away
Nothing but dark clouds in the sky
It’s been raining in paradise
And I’ll soon be washed away
By rising waters of regret
Because I couldn’t make you stay
It’s like you didn’t think twice…
Now it’s raining in paradise
[Verse]
As flood waters come in
The lonely winds they roar
Washing away my heart
And all we had before
[Verse]
I’ll just stand here and wait
For help that never comes
I may drown in the pain
That I can’t overcome
[Chorus]
It’s been raining in paradise
Since the day you said goodbye
The sunshine has gone away
Nothing but dark clouds in the sky
It’s been raining in paradise
And I’ll soon be washed away
By rising waters of regret
Because I couldn’t make you stay
It’s like you didn’t think twice…
Now it’s raining in paradise
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
They say you can’t have a rainbow
Without a little rain
But you also need some sunshine
And all I have is pain
[Final Chorus]
It’s been raining in paradise
Since the day you said goodbye
The sunshine has gone away
Nothing but dark clouds in the sky
It’s been raining in paradise
And I’ll soon be washed away
By rising waters of regret
Because I couldn’t make you stay
It’s like you didn’t think twice…
Now it’s raining in paradise
