Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
HUMPERDINCK ENGELBERT Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'




Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

Effortless voice! Nothing like a night of listening to Engelbert & Perry Como...Pure bliss!

@eva_loves_enge

@PRTrinilan: Engelbert is one of a kind. The best voice of the 20th century. He is incomparable and to mention Perry Como ( yawn) in the same breath should be a punishable offence
