Have You Ever Seen The Rain
Miss Montreal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been comin' for some time

When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know
Shinin' down like water

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know
Been that way for all my time

Till forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know
It can't stop, I wonder

And I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
And I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
And I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain?
And I wanna know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?




Comin' down on a sunny day?
Comin' down on a sunny day?
