Raindrops - Dinah Washington

I don’t mind the raindrops,

'Cause it’s gotta rain sometime,

but it don’t seem to be raining

in nobody’s yard but mine.

No, and I don’t mind the thunder and lightning,

don’t mind how it flash and roars,

but it’s too much thunder and lightning round my troubled door.

My daddy left me, and he took the sun shine and sent a cloudy day,

Ain’t seen the sunshine since my daddy went away, Oh no.

While I sit, I’m just crying, hoping he’ll come back again

'Cause you can’t tell tears from raindrops on my window pane.

My daddy left and he took the sun shine and sent me a dark, cloudy day,

Ain’t seen the sunshine since my daddy went away.

Well, while I wait, I am crying, and I hope he’ll come back again,

'Cause you can’t tell the teardrops from rain on my window pane.

This waiting for my daddy

is 'bout to drive me insane.
