Verse 1

  The sky was clear on that windy day

  'Til the clear blue sky began to turn to gray

  The lightning flashed, the thunder roared above

  Then fell a drop of rain to start our love

Chorus

  [1: Let the river get wide], the river gets long, now

[2: And the river gets wide]

  The water runs deep as our love gets strong now

  So baby, don't you fight and say you belong now

  To me

Verse 2

Upon the roof we heard the gentle rain

With the rhythm of our heartbeats, down it came

As it hit each drop our hearts could feel the pain

No one on earth can stop a drop of rain

[repeat chorus 3X; fade 3rd time]
