Original Broadway Cast Of Aint Too Proud -
Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of The Temptations (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
I Wish It Would Rain
What is it, Paul?
What's the matter with you?
They done killed Reverend King.
Ooh
Sunshine, blue skies
Please go away
My girl's found another
And gone away
With her went my future
My life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room
I know to you
It might sound strange
But I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh
As if the world losing Dr. King wasn't enough
The Motown family lost Tammi Terrell from a brain tumor
She died at 24 years old.
David was destroyed
Maybe permanently
Day in, day out, my tearstained face
Pressed against the windowpane
My eyes search the skies
Desperately for rain
Raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm crying (crying)
When I go outside
To the world outside, my tears
I refuse to explain
Oh, I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh
There was nowhere for sanctuary
Outside, the world was exploding
And inside, so were we
Ooh
Let it rain
Let it rain
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (Let it rain)
Oh
Let it rain, let it rain
I'm a man and I've got my pride
I'm a man
Let it rain
Ooh
What's the matter with you?
They done killed Reverend King.
Ooh
Sunshine, blue skies
Please go away
My girl's found another
And gone away
With her went my future
My life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room
I know to you
It might sound strange
But I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh
As if the world losing Dr. King wasn't enough
The Motown family lost Tammi Terrell from a brain tumor
She died at 24 years old.
David was destroyed
Maybe permanently
Day in, day out, my tearstained face
Pressed against the windowpane
My eyes search the skies
Desperately for rain
Raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm crying (crying)
When I go outside
To the world outside, my tears
I refuse to explain
Oh, I wish it would rain (Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh
There was nowhere for sanctuary
Outside, the world was exploding
And inside, so were we
Ooh
Let it rain
Let it rain
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (Let it rain)
Oh
Let it rain, let it rain
I'm a man and I've got my pride
I'm a man
Let it rain
Ooh
