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

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..
