When It Rains

Dear mother
If I could send a letter to heaven
I would write my feelings down
I thought both of you would always be there
But now I can’t find you here

Chorus 1:
I think of you when it rains
Your tears flowed like raindrops
You suffered from a pain
A pain that would never stop

Dear father
You disappeared before momma did
Try to make my feelings fit
I know you loved each other so much
And momma longed for your touch

Repeat Chorus 1.

If it is true what they say
Then why did you then slip away?
Her longing slowly killed her
You are both gone and I’m alone…

Chorus 2:
I think of you when it rains
Your tears flowed like raindrops
You suffered from a pain
That no one could ever stop…

It might be that I’m selfish
But now and then I wish
That you weren’t gone
And I was not alone
But now you are together
I hope it will be forever

Repeat Chorus 2.

I still love you both so much.
