Jennifer Hudson - Can’t Stop the Rain lyrics

Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh

27th of January
Think he died a year ago today
She's crying on my shoulder
And begging me to make the hurting go away
Pretty brown eyes, tears full of guilt
A heart full of pain and fear
I wanna tell her it's okay
But we both know she's the
Reason he's not here

I keep on crying
But it doesn't seem to help at all
(Seem to help at all)
With every single teardrop
It's like another raindrop falls
And I would
(And I would) if I could (If I could)
But the try would be in vain
(The try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do
I can't stop the rain so I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
If I could, you know I would
But the try would be in vain so I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

Faded picture in a little gold locket
And she never takes it off
I know it's small
But it's heavy 'cause it's
Filled with guilt
I know and she's why his life is lost
I feel bad for her
But I'm having mixed emotions
'Cause he was a friend of mine
Somewhere in the deepest darkest
Part of my mind
I wish it was her that died that night, ooh

I keep on crying
But it doesn't seem to help at all
(Seem to help at all)
With every single teardrop
It's like another raindrop falls
And I would
(And I would) if I could (If I could)
But the try would be in vain
(The try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do
I can't stop the rain so I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
If I could, you know I would
But the try would be in vain so I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)

One rainy Saturday night, a happy anniversary
Celebrating love, champagne all around
They had a little too much to drink
They got in the car
And he could barely stand up
So she figured that she'd drive
Staring at him, I suppose
A sudden jerk of the wheel
And the car flipped about three times, ooh

I keep on crying
But it doesn't seem to help at all
(Seem to help at all)
With every single teardrop
It's like another raindrop falls
And I would
(And I would) if I could (If I could)
But the try would be in vain
(The try would be in vain)
Said no matter what I do
I can't stop the rain so I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
If I could, you know I would
But the try would be in vain so I cry
Ooh, I can't stop the rain (Stop the rain)
