Rain In The Woods
MP3 file
My most
requested signature song.
My friend Margaret Lynch
inspired this. I don't know why Meg isn't
mentioned in the liner notes of "No Present Like The Time".
Sorry 'bout that, Meg.
Tommy Byrnes, Billy Joel's guitarist,
musical director, and my long time friend, arranged
this song.
Although Tommy is mentioned in the liner notes, I didn't
credit him for the arranging he did on the recording.
Sorry that
was overlooked, but Tommy has told me he really doesn't mind! Next time,
bro, next time!
It will always be there for you
Long after I’m gone
Love like that, it never dies
It lives on and on and on
And no one knows what we would find
No one knows what we left behind
There are holes in our lives
We could fill for each other
But it’s just the wrong time, it’s the wrong time
And you can’t have blue skies
On a winter’s day
And you can’t have brown eyes
Looking back your way
And when you walk on by
You won’t have me there,
But you can have rain in the woods
Anywhere
And I never had a reason
No, I never had a clue
Why it took me so long to see
All the love there was inside you
And I’ve been gone
Here and gone
I’ve lost track of what my feet were on
And over and over
You’d come and I’d go
But you’re love flowed on,
It just flowed on
And you can’t have blue skies
On a winter’s day
And you can’t my have brown eyes
Looking back your way
And when you walk on by
You’ll never have me there,
But you can have rain in the woods
Anywhere
No one knows what we would find
No one knows what we left behind
There are tears in our lives
We could have dried for each other
But it’s just the wrong time,
It’s the wrong time
You can have soft blue skies
On a winter’s day
You can have deep brown eyes
Looking back your way
And when you walk on by
You’ll always have me there
And you can have rain in the woods
Everywhere
Everywhere
It will always be there for you
Long after I’m gone
Rain in the woods
It will always be there for you
Back
