I Don't Want To Be The Rain Lyrics - Nikka Costa

I don't wanna hold you down 

Especially when you look so sweet in flight 

I'd rather wash my hands right here 

Than be the thing you settle for in your life 

I will have solace having known you babe 

And you will have everything you dream about, 

I have no doubt 

The sun will light your name 

But I don't want to be the rain 

What I'm gettin's very clear 

That you don't have the strength to say goodbye 

I'd rather face your love's not there 

Than pretend not to see you strain to try 

I will have your smile with me everyday 

And you will have everything you dream about, 

I have no doubt 

The sun will light your name 

But I don't want to be the rain 

I don't want to be the rain 

I don't want to be the rain on your parade 

I don't want to be the tears you cry 

When your day would otherwise be made 

I don't want to see your sun go down 

I'd rather walk away 

'Cause I don't want to be the rain 

I don't want to be the rain 

I will have solace having known you babe 

And you will have everything you dream about (dream about), 

I have no doubt (have no doubt) 

The sun will light your name 

But I don't want to be the rain 

I don't want to be the rain 

I don't want to be the rain. 

do do do..
