It was raining hard in Houston
When I ran in to her
I searched for conversation
But I was lost for words
Then a cloud of tear-filled memories
Came crashing down on me

If it hadn't been for the pouring rain
I'm sure she would have seen

Tears in the rain
Hiding the pain
Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry
She thinks I'm so strong
Oh but she's so wrong
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain

Now I regret that moment
'Cause I didn't let her know
How much I still loved her
I was hoping it would show
But the raindrops and teardrops
Ran together on my face
Now she'll never ever know
No one could take her place
Tears in the rain
Hiding the pain
Maybe she'd come back if she could see me cry
She thinks I'm so strong
Oh but she's so wrong
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain

She thinks I'm so strong
Oh but she's so wrong
She just couldn't see these tears in the rain
