Rain eyes that blur the rays of sunshine
|
When all you see is seen through tears
|
The whole world seems as though it's crying
|
Rain eyes, that's how my world appears
|
One sunny day in Lou'siana
|
The clouds began to hover low
|
And darkness came in early evening
|
And brought a rain that would not go
|
|
I's just a child when mother told me
|
It seems your father's gone away
|
It's not his fault, my child, forgive him
|
I should have known he would not stay
|
You're so much like him and he loves you
|
But now his love's for only you
|
Although he forced himself to leave you
|
Forgiving me he could not do
|
|
Rain eyes that cloud the hope of sunshine
|
When everything is seen through tears
|
The whole world seems as though it's crying
|
Rain eyes, that's how my world appears
|
It rains all evening into nighttime
|
Then rains all night and through the day
|
My mother's eyes are weak from crying
|
Forgive her, she just lost her way
|
|
Since you've been gone her eyes have clouded
|
And darkness reigns her weary view
|
She'd see again from your returning
|
That God knows she's in love with you
|
One rainy day in Louisiana
|
The trade winds blew the clouds away
|
A mother heard her boy shout, "Father"
|
My God, 'tis him, he's come to stay
|
