Let It Rain
Carroll Jason Michael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Smell of the rain takes me back again
To a morning just like this clouds filled the sky
And every time I I think about that day I said goodbye
[Chorus]
My heart beats like thunder as I call out your name
And all my tears start falling down like the rain
I remember back in college you loved these kind of days
When we'd run off to your apartment and hide away
We'd talk about forever and how we'd share our lives
It never crossed my mind I'd be without you here tonight
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid of dying it's something we all do
But I'm scared to death of living the rest of my life without you
