[Verse 1]
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm, I know
And it's been coming for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day, I know
Shining down like water

[Chorus]
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
Ahhhhh
Oh yeah

[Verse 2]
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know
Been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow, I know
And it can't stop, I wonder

[Chorus]
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?
Yeah!

[Chorus]
Yeah!
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Coming down on a sunny day?

[Outro]
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?
Have you ever seen the rain?

Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
